how long till solo after landing?
When I started, there were no simulators or trainer cords, so I learned with the "old-fashioned" method of passing the Tx to the instructor when you're in trouble.
My instructor felt I needed one more flight before trying for solo. I hadn't landed yet, that was the last lesson, but I had practised low passes 20 feet up to simulate landings. I lived on a farm in a rural area, so I cut my own runway, and with shaking knees soloed alone at 7 AM (so no-one would see it if I crashed). I've never looked back.
