Having waited what seemed like quite a long time....couple of circuits with the CFI then off round on my own.

Having read most of the past posts about first solos, it does so put the biggest smile on your face. In fact looking back on the list of 'firsts' it really is up there, I could have kept going round all day long.

To be honest the extra hours in the circuit really paid off it all felt totally instinctual and I couldn't have been more comfortable.

Unlike one my other first's......hhmm

Well Done !

My CFI said doing my first solo was like losing my virginity, although it should take a little longer.........

I felt like that after my first couple of solo circuits, but when I realised I was about to be sent all I wanted was to get off the ground ASAP before nerves took over! Then I couldn't sleep as I kept waking up grinning.

Congratulations! Onwards and upwards...

Thanks all

Put1992 ... yep could well have done with a few hours practice before attempting the other 'first'. A little early with the rotation and your and up and back down again before it all gets going:O

Don't think you can get an instructor for that kind of training...well legally anyway;)
