Guest Brett Campany Posted December 30, 2008 Posted December 30, 2008 So yesterday turned out really well, clear weather all round, a hot day but not uncomfortable. I did my third and forth lessons, C&D turns and stalls plus some circuit work. I was surprised when on final that my instructor, who was talking me the whole way through, allowed me to land. It was a challenge with a slight crosswind from the right but felt so good. There's so many little goals to aim for when learning to fly, without even knowing it I was able to complete one of those goals. I can't even imagine what I'm going to be feeling when I go solo in the next couple of months!!
Student Pilot Posted December 30, 2008 Posted December 30, 2008 Don't worry too much about the solo bit, I think too much is made of the "Solo". It is really just another part of your training, that learning and training goes on your entire flying life.
Guest Brett Campany Posted December 30, 2008 Posted December 30, 2008 I'm not so much worried about it, just hanging out to do it. I reckon it could be done as early as the next two weeks. I'm hanging out for it and feel confident that I can do it.
Yenn Posted December 31, 2008 Posted December 31, 2008 Best of luck Brett, but it often happens that there is a period of backsliding, before the solo. If it doesn't happen to you well done but if it does, remember it is not unusual.
Skykid Posted January 4, 2009 Posted January 4, 2009 Yeah man good luck. I hope the weather stays fine for ya. Its the best feeling going solo. Your instructors will make sure your up to it so you'll be fine. just remember your plane will be a tad more responsive since your instructor wont be there. Good luck H :yin_yan:
Relfy Posted January 4, 2009 Posted January 4, 2009 Top work mate! I did my TIF the other day and can't wait to get stuck in to the training in March on my holidays. I'm 33, always wanted to do it and decided that it's time to just do it and stop dreaming! Sound familiar? ;)
Guest Brett Campany Posted January 4, 2009 Posted January 4, 2009 Cheers fellas, yeah Refly, sounds like you and me are on the same track. I've done just under 4 hours now, got another 2 hours booked for Tuesday, bring on the solo!
Mikey_A Posted January 5, 2009 Posted January 5, 2009 I'm only new to this RA stuff, but when I had my first Solo in a GA aircraft, after the initial "Oh S**T, I'm on my own" it was the best day of my short flying career! You'll be fine.
