Dual done , solo to come :)

Finally caught a break in the weather and got my dual cross country in. Only been trying since November !!!

Weather permitting Solo on Saturday.

Guess I'm in serious danger of being mistaken for a real pilot.

the weather has been crazy in last 4 months or so - but take time to take in your solo XC its an amazing landmark in your journey to PPL. I did mine in September last year, and remember so much - loved it.

Having said that its easy to lose concentration or get distracted like i was at one point and can easily be dangerous - with no one there as per usual like your instructor to point out any probs or dangers etc...

other than that it just simply is great fun!!!

regards

What is a "Real Pilot"

What does a real pilot do?

As you venture into the next territory (flying solo XC), make sure your mental gear is fit for the purpose.

I'm not making a point to scare you off though. But if you're not comfortable with the challenge, weight the options when you're on the ground, not when in the air. If you're signed off by your instructor and you are not sure of your readiness, take another trip with your instructor.

Good luck.
