Chasing down the solo. The plan is Tuesday if possible. The "if possible" part means 2 things:
(1) Am I ready
(2) Can I get my physical done in time.
Regarding (2), I was supposed to have gotten a flight physical but it slipped through the cracks and I forgot about it. The physical is a requirement for the solo, so hopefully I can get it done Monday or Tuesday morning.
Today was the same drill: touch and goes. We did a few at Winder and then flew over to Jackson county for a change of scenery. Jackson county's airstrip is smaller than Winder's. I did ok today. The winds were higher and gustier, so I would get blown off my headings and then overcorrect for them .. leading to being even more off. The good news is that I managed to convert all of the less-than-perfectly-setup approaches into smooth landings.
Chris said he was happy with results today, so I'm still on track. I also talked more on the radio. Speaking of .. Monday I am going to be doing all of the radio communication.
