Yep. I did it. Finally. It was so gusty, the student before me was supposed to solo but decided not to. Then my CFI and I did some go arounds, and he kept asking me if I was sure I wanted to do it. He kept saying it was OK if I wanted to wait till another day. I have to admit the winds really concerned me because they kept changing direction. But I knew it was still a safe day to fly. If the winds had been too strong he wouldn't have had me doing the touch and go's with him. So eventually I got him to turn me loose, and I did it.
This was in a Cessna 172S, by the way. |
