So I finally got out to the airport this morning to get my last 3 circuits at a controlled field, and my next flight will be my checkride for the PPL. From what my instructor says, I was very lucky to get my solo in, as it's the only solo he's had since November due to all the crappy weather. Our flight school's minimums for wind are 7kts total wind (reasonable), with only 2kts Xwind component (ridiculous!) and a ceiling of at least 5000 AGL. Now these are for the first solo, and since I'd done all my other requirements at my old flight school, this was technically a "first solo" as far as the flight school was concerned. Still... Anyway, things worked out my way and the weather cooperated. Now, hopefully in the next few weeks, I'll be a fully-fledged pilot! Gosh, it has seemed like forever since my intro flight last May. Time to read over Captain Levy's Checkride Advice!
