Had my first solo this morning. It was amazing and a bit scary looking over at that empty seat.
Everything went great and did three full stop taxi backs.
I was thrown a bit of a curve on my first solo approach. As I turned base to final I was all lined up and things seemed to go smoothly. However, I then started searching for my PAPI lights.... none where to be found!
I started sweating a little at that point. Did I line up on the wrong runway? Am I at the right airport? (little exaggeration there but yeah).
I have not landed without a PAPI or VASI yet so I was surprised. However, the landing was pretty smooth regardless and then I asked tower about the missing lights.
They thanked me and said they've recycled and the lights should now be on. Good to go and made two more full stop landings.
Great feeling to say the least.
