THursday today was the day with no cfi with me last week i did 6 solo circuits and when i went in for my lesson signed in got the keys did the walk around and all checks ,before takeoff CFI said ,how do you feel about going on your own, my reply was ,i will defur to you. we did one circuit and on downwind radio he told me to do a full stop,taxied to eastern apron. CFI got out and said,do 6 or seven circuits ,have fun stay safe any pressure that you fee lor if wind picks up or to much traffic come back in> What a feeling ,its up to me I AM IN CONTROL ,all went well ,i flew as if he was there ,but there is less pressure THis flying is AWSOME Cheers Gareth
