Pearls of wisdom for your first solo

Seeing as you only have yourself in the plane, you are the only source of advice. These are some of the pearls of wisdom I remember offering myself :

“You really should have visited the washroom beforehand, shouldn’t you?” – At the hold short line, the point where the nerves really kicked in.

“Well you’re committed ­now aren’t you?” – on take off

“Who the hell are you talking to?” – during my Go/No Go brief

“just don’t do anything F*ck#ng stupid”- while waiting at the hold short line

“this feels so <bleeping> wrong” – on turning base

“Sh##########T” on realising that I was short final and was gonna have to get it down on the tarmac
