I'm closing in on my Private Pilot license. With my initial solo and solo cross country under my belt a few weeks ago, I wanted to work on my landings so I stayed in the pattern for 9 trips around the runway. Had one landing I had to abort and do a go around as instructed by ATC due to a previous airplane delaying it's departure from the runway following their landing. This flying session was also a milestone for me since I crossed over 30 hours of total flight time to date. The minimum hours to receive a private pilot license per FAA rules is 40 hours so I'm on track to finish up close to that and well under the national average of 50-60 hours.
