30th April this year, East Midlands Airport, Cessna 152, G-BGGO
After many lessons where my instructor had wanted to send me solo but was thwarted due to weather / circuits not being available due to high traffic at EGNX the day finally came.
Bit of a feisty crosswind - 8-10kts - but the pre-solo circuits on the day were fine.
So, I went up on my own... was surprised how quickly a 152 could actually climb with only one person in it! Round I went, before being asked to orbit at the end of downwind.
The approach was alright, but then I had a brain fart with the crosswind on landing and put it down a little bit sideways. Hated that landing and made it my job to learn how to deal with crosswinds from that moment on.
Passed the skills test at the end of August
