Pilot dave goes solo!!

I was very pleased there wasnt anyone around , only instructor, very quiet airport. Just in case i did something real wrong. All the hard work and training put into place made the result excellent. I couldnt ask for a better SOLO.

Amazing reading back through this after 3 years.. almost 300 hours clocked up now! On way to QLD next week.. bring on Murwillumbah.. Who would ever think!

 

Looking forward to taking the 6 cyl Bristell for a 3 hour stint.

HEY ALL, well its finally happened!Perfect weather, no one around! First did about 8 circuits with instructor, wind calming down so was looking unreal.

 

Last Stop, backtracked on 35 and then instructor got out.. this was the point of no return.

 

What a buzz! To think i can actually fly a plane on my own! I had better pinch myself again. I had to laugh, prior to taking off, looked over to my right (NO INSTRUCTOR) , took a big deep breath and powered on! This is it!

 

I might of been talking to myself even somewhat! YES i was! Hope mike button wasn't pushed in!

 

All parts of circuits i believe was good, landing also uneventful.. Phew!

 

Thanks again to Central West Flying and Chris.. great teacher..

 

Dave:clap:

I did first solo a while back, and had to resist the temptation to say "departed all runways, YIPPEE!!" I did however call "lined up and rolling, first solo". I thought I should give everyone in the circuit area a fighting chance of survival........
