First Solo!

[nighthawk12]

Hello everyone! First time poster, looooong time lurker.

I flew my first solo this past Saturday! It was such a surreal feeling not having anyone sitting in that right seat. First landing was great! I ended up doing a go-around on the second attempt since I got a bit slow on final, plus I had to look out for somebody entering the pattern on base practicing simulated engine outs while I was on downwind. Otherwise it went great! Can't wait to do it again!

Congrats. Good job on making the decision to go around when things weren't lining up correctly and for keeping your alertness up in regard to other traffic. Hope you continue to enjoy your training.

Thanks everyone!

Canassis: Yup, it's those extra fractions of an hour that count.

Congrats! I felt the same surreal feeling as you. It's weird because before you know it, you've already made the landings and are parking the plane.
