I can't be everywhere at the same time. So he acts as a stand in.

If Mistress soloed today, I'd imagine she's still celebrating.

Are you kidding? If she had, she'd have rushed right home to post it here. Thunder storms in this area yesterday, so there was no flying, I'm sure.

On a serious note (or two..three..):

1. You do want a "perfect weather day" for your solo. I was just be'n an ass.

2. Start feeling the airplane and what’s going on with it. Fly with those feelings.
Don’t get all wrapped up in the exact point that you are to be at an exact speed and altitude in an exact configuration.
(Same goes for those radio calls you sent me.)
Relax....Fly the airplane....Talk to peolpe like the humans they are...

3. On your check ride day. Pray (or whatever you do) for a "not so perfect weather day". A few gusts and drafts can actually make you look good.
If the weather is perfect, the examiner will expect your flight to be the same.

Exactly! When the instructor jumps out, the plane will perform like a rocket. Plan on doing all of your aproach steps early and your RPM settings about 200 less than you would normally. It will seem to float forever. Don't try to force the plane to land and don't be afraid/embarrassed to balk and go around if it's floating. If the instructor hasn't done so, you might ask them to go over balk landing procedures soon before soloing.

Also, if you do some solo touch'n go's, don't forget to remove carb heat when you're over the runway (like I did... DOH!). climbing out is much easier with it off...

Well, she's new to flying . . . overly cautious.
