Second Solo

Flight Time: 0.5 hours
Total Time: 25.3 hours

It's been about a month and a half since my first solo and I was finally able to get up to solo again (seven scheduled solo flights since then cancelled due to weather - what a winter).

It was my first full solo, meaning my instructor wasn't there for any part of it. It was short since I didn't have much time, but the weather was perfect and the plane was free. I was able to get up for half an hour and a whopping three touch-and-goes.

I filmed the whole thing, and then sped it up so it only lasts a tad under three minutes (to make it watchable).

I'm rounding out my base to final turn a bit trying to avoid an incursion into the final to the parallel runway. I'll definitely need some more touch and goes at my home drome to work that issue out. The long downwind on my last lap was because I was waiting for a 737 that was on a long straight-in approach to pass.

It was short, but after an additional 10 hours of dual time I was finally able to get in my second solo! I'm crossing my fingers that Sunday's weather will also be good so I can take full advantage of the three-hour reservation I have on my 172.
