I did it!
I went out this afternoon... first with my instructor for three touch-and-go landings, and then he stepped out of the plane and I and did another three landings solo. What a thrill!
Everything went really well. It was a relatively quiet day at Livermore Municipal (KLVK) with little traffic, and calm conditions. The only issue was that it was extremely hot... 104 F to be exact. Still, it didn't really bother me. I was focused and calm and really enjoyed the experience. Interestingly I wasn't really nervous in the end, and the three trips around the pattern felt just like they did before. I could almost hear my instructor saying "patience, patience" every time after I flared and waited for it to touch down. The landings weren't as good as as some of my previous ones, but hey, I was safe now I can fly solo!
Cheers,
DDT
PS: I'll post some pics later.
