Let's just say the past few weeks have been frustrating as I've gotten closer and closer to being ready to solo . . . the weather keeps me grounded to delay the much anticipated event!
Today, I get out to the airport despite the winds being horrendous, and the plane is under going an oil change . . . well I kind of didn't mind because of the wind, but everything was okay since I ended up spending the time taking the pre-solo written exam and going over soloing with my instructer.
Now I'm excited as taking the test and having that signed off just reinforces how close I am to making the trip myself and logging PIC hours. Not to worry, I am also mindful of the responsibilities and dangers ahead, and will not take the event lightful . . . but it feels better to have something that shows progress.
Unfortunately, looking at the forecast, mother nature continues to stay on my bad side with the two good days coming when my CFI is off and I don't fly . . . but hopefully things will change.
Any words of wisdom for that first trip alone?
