my first solo
I did my first 2 solo flights today. I had been going to my clubs flight training program since late may. Recently, I have been able to fly an entire flight, take off to landing, on the buddy box so I talked to the club president about soloing. He made me do 3 good take offs and landings. There was little crosswind, so the takeoffs were good. I had 2 bad landings where I came up short of the runway. He made me change my landing approach and all was well. Then later, he told me I could solo. I took off, did about 5 or 6 trips around the pattern and landed. It was slightly off the runway with a small bounce. There was still fuel in the tank and daylight, so I got to go again. I did the same thing but the landing was better. It was on the runway with almost no bounce and I was able to taxi it to myself.
