Romeo Juliet Whiskey Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 Although I have solo'ed a couple of times before 17 years ago, I still have that feeling of excitement mixed with a dash of absolute dread! If you don't hear back from me ...well... you know.... 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmick Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 Probably better if you don't know in advance. The CFI says just pull over here and gets out. Should be a collection of photo's on the wall of the students faces at that precise moment. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romeo Juliet Whiskey Posted July 9, 2016 Author Share Posted July 9, 2016 Despite the odd light shower and a faulty flap system I survived my first solo (again). Pretty happy with how the whole flight went including the landing. The only bad part was my airmanship ....deciding to do 'dry July' for the first time in my life. So now I'm at home recapping the flight in front of the fire sipping on a celebratory non-alcoholic apple cider.... oh well... shouldn't complain :) Rich 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
