Thanks! My first solo passed awhile back. I will post the details of my check ride in a few weeks, when I get it done.

Just wanted to say hello!

I am currently a student pilot, but in a couple of weeks, I will be taking my check ride. So hopefully I can come back and change "student pilot" to "private pilot."

jake, ...during low flight over the runway, intentionally drift from centerline to left runway edge then back to centerline, the right runway edge and back to centerline. if you can demonstrate that skill you probably won't be challenged much by x-wind landings I used this exercise, and it helped m...
