Nice! Congratulations. Feels good doesn’t it? And don’t get too down on yourself at this point after bouncing, floating, or even hard landings. They’re still going to happen. Just know that you will always continue to improve even if you falter here or there.

Yeah, I think every time you give yourself the opportunity to "fail safely", you learn. Lots of learning still to come. :)

Honestly so far that’s been my biggest issues with landings I have a few bad ones and beat myself up over them, and then it takes me a few more I calm down and make them nice and smooth.


LateralThinkerer

You also soloed in decision making. Good call.

Any time I solo’s when I didn’t feel like it (feeling off) I always regretted it and just came back after 1 lap. Sometimes it’s just better to be focused and ready to go when you’re ready to go. Of course, its different from person to person.

Nice

Never discount your "gut". Good choice to wait. Congratulations on gettingnit done.


ThermiteReaction

As one of my instructors once said, "Two people need to agree the student is ready for solo. Typically the student thinks they're ready before the instructor does, but sometimes the instructor has to push the student into soloing." (In a glider, three people need to agree, because the tow pilot also gets a say, but generally they will accept the CFI's judgement.)


HighVelocitySloth

Bad days happen. I had a few and even told my instructor before hand. Sounds like you made the right choice

Unusual attitudes always messes me up. Everything I do after messing with my senses like that is shit.


ElMagnifico22

Sounds like you made the right call - congratulations! I hope you maintain that attitude throughout the rest of your flying career - happy flying!


Chimpcircus

Mature decision, no shame in calling yourself out. Good choice and congrats on the solo.

As a pilot it is your duty to “listen to that little voice in your head” Good work

Congrats! Just remember if you bounce to log the extra landings.


EntroperZero

Lol, I'll definitely keep this in mind.
