First Solo!!!
After 6 weeks of not being in a plane due to having to get Air law out of the way and then weather holding me up as well, I've finally done my first solo! The feeling is brilliant!:)
Quite a windy and cloudy day, but I was still able to do it. Did nearly an hour of practice emergencies (EFATO, flapless etc) and he said on the next landing we'll come to a stop, instead of doing touch-and-goes, so I was gutted, thinking my solo would be next week. But no! We taxxied a bit, and my instructor (Dale) asked me to come to a stop. I knew what was going to happen next!:p Nearly forgot to call "Final", but other than that, a good circuit I think! The adrenaline ddin't help steady my hands, put it that way! I found it hard to write "P1" in my logbook (hands shaking all over the place), but it was a great feeling writing it! 19th November at 13.30 - a point in time I will never forget!!!:cool: Here's the plane I did it in, CR: http://img66.imageshack.us/img66/5562/image023om5.jpg |

Did my first solo some years ago - but I will NEVER forget it - Cessna 152 at Compton Abbas. Still smile when I think about it. Well done - it is a real achievement.

Drinks are on you pal! Well done and you will still remember that moment in 50 years time.
I waited till I was downwind before I let out the rebel yell. Does Sherburn have a bar? |
thanks everybody!!
daria-ox, I did 14hours 55 mins before going solo. Got 10 mins P1 now though. Those 10 mins were excellent!:p aviate1138, There is a bar at Sherburn. I would have had a few to celebrate afterwards, but it was only midday and I had to drive home...! Can't wait for XC, should be good fun! thanks again! -Lyndon |
