Congratulations. Seems like only last week..........

Anyway, all my flights immediatley after first solo followed the same pattern: 2 or 3 circuits with the instructor followed by the rest of the session solo. This continued until I had 4 hours solo time in the book at which point we started navex's, dual for the first 2 - then the same route solo.

As I've said before, my first solo was a bit of an anti-climax - over before I knew what was happening. What I considered a real milestone was the first time I walked out to the aircraft and set off for an hour in the circuit completley alone from start to finish, without the obligatory 2 circuits with the instructor. The instructor didn't even watch - just sat in the office and ate her lunch apparently. That was when I KNEW I was a pilot. Enjoy it.
