YES! finally my instructor thinks i'm good enough to land i have only like 8hrs hehehehe. He said he doesn't think why I shouldn't be able to land the a/c entirely on my own this THURSDAY yahoo!!!!!!!!! oh well i'm real excited about this because last time I had the power and rudder all by myself. OH MAN i just thought this excellent news should be shared with my fellow pilots. Wish Me Luck you have over 24hrs (counting from now) hehehe. Take care....

Thats great news. I loved my first landing.

But I have a question... is this your first solo or first landing with the instructor onboard?"Because last time I had the power and rudder all by myself" makes it sound like this will be with a instructor onboard.

well my instructor would be there with me, but he said he'll just sit there and watch me land it all by myself. But really now that think about it, it really wouldn't be too differen't from my first solo landing. Except that fact i'm alone which is a huge fact but stil. No when i fly i think like i'm Capt Craig Elbridge coming into land runway 04R at KORD. When my instructor says 500ft I love yelling out "Final Flaps Should be 30" pause "we're not the first ones here are we" lol!!!!! Oh god i have started to memorize dialogues from that movie oh nooo help!!!!! Take care now...
