Preparing For Solo
Since Thanksgiving, I've had 2 more flights and 2 ground schools. The goal is to complete my first solo flight within the next 6 flights or so. As Chris tells it, I won't see it coming. We'll have done a few touch-and-goes and then out of nowhere we'll pull over, he'll get out, and I will go up alone for 3 touch-and-goes followed by a full stop. I'm eager to get it behind me.
The last 2 flights were more pattern work and landings. I've not yet mastered coordinating altitude, airspeed, and heading simultaneously. Changing any one affects the other two. With any luck, I'll get my solo under my belt before the new year. After the solo, the next focus will be planning and executing a cross country flight.
