Today I got a full solo lesson and half of the second instrument lesson in the two hours the airport was open. I’m very happy with that!

Only a couple days since my previous solo, with the weather and the opening hours I have to take what I can get. And today I got a full solo lesson and a half instrument lesson in the two hours the airport was open. I’m very happy with that!

This was my second solo, and the first time solo at Karmøy - my home airport. The plan was to spend an hour in the pattern, doing as many landings are possible.

Since we only did half of the Instrument 1 lesson on the way back from Sola, we decided to combine the remainder with the first part of the next lesson.

After my first solo, we had a short flight back to Karmøy, with planned arrival just after opening. To get the most out of the flight back home, we used it to do the first part of the Instrument 1 lesson.

After the solo check, I didn’t even have time to think before I suddenly was in the airplane alone. All alone.

After the preparations, it was time for the second stage check - the solo check!

The next three lessons on the plan required a trip to Sola, so we had to leave Karmøy at sunrise due to the very limited opening hours. The plan was to do preparations for the solo check on the way down.

Only a couple days after the first emergency procedures lesson, it was time for the next one - which also included the first introduction to instrument flying.

After debriefing the previous lesson, we continued with the next lesson on the plan - emergency procedures.
