Most welcome. I got a kick out of you talking to yourself and also apologizing to yourself. Hahahahaha.
(I do it too. The voices in my head say “You’re too slow, dummy!” Stuff like that. And there’s always the instructor’s voice mixed in there too. Ha. “If you don’t add power and pull the nose up, we’re both going to die in about 20 seconds...” hahahahaha! Okay maybe not that bad...)
By the way you fixed the radio thing the second lap. No big deal. The taxi instruction was pretty long and the controller was just following the rules where he needs the airplane to say the crossing instructions and runway to go to, along with their tail number, all in one transmission. He knew you “got it” (well, after you realized you’d started to turn left and then turned right.... you rattled yourself right there, didn’t ya?
) but he needed it all in one transmission for his procedures.
Little tip... if you’re a bit rattled on something like that just say “Standby, l’ll stop here when I’m off and read that back for you in just a sec.” Or really overloaded/rattled, just “Standby, we’ll clear the runway and call you.”
No need to rush. It gets easier to do it fluidly with time and without skipping any beats, but you’d already told him it was a first solo and student pilot so he’d be plenty patient with ya.
Absolutely nothing at all wrong with coming to a compete stop across the hold short line on the taxiway side, cleaning up the airplane, and then calling “N12345 is ready for that taxi clearance again please.” As long as you exited where he wanted you to exit (and you caught that part before you went the wrong way and fixed it) all the rest is “throwaway” and you can ask for it again.
It won’t make you popular at someplace like JFK or something... haha... but student pilot soloing? They’ll work with ya. No sweat. Plus you can write it down and actually look at the taxi diagram, which you probably don’t need by now at your home airport but it’s a good habit to get into as you go other places.
Taxi off the runway, taxi diagram up, taxi clearance understood and looked at on the diagram... or just stop and ask. No reason to move if the instructions are unclear in any way or they said “expedite”... and even then, “unable” always trumps expedite.
Just tips. Not criticism. You did fine.
