Any advice before my first solo flight?

A lot of good advice and I am hoping mine will fall into that category too!  No matter what happens - FLY THE PLANE!!!  If you are anything like me, you will be freaked out and a little worried.  Just remember, you have done all your forced approaches and are able to land without your instructor taking the controls.  If the approach isn't good just overshoot - no one will fault you for it.  In short, stay calm, and remember just FLY THE PLANE!

Good luck and enjoy your new-found freedom!

Cheers,

Cory

I remember my first solo. 15mph crosswind at DVT. Needless to say I had to change my shorts after that one.
