It's impossible to imprint all my thrill and excitement into this video, which'd be, as from uninvolved observer's prospective, a pretty boring one-circuit pattern ending with full stop and taxiing back to parking. So, I'm uploading this completely factual observation footage not for interest of other viewers but mainly for my own minute-to-minute memory on "how I became a real-student-pilot". After all, "boring" usually means "safe and uneventful" and this was exactly my primary goal in this exercise.

Ah yeah, radio comms were not caught up (all audio is from camera's external mic) but this is the first time I had to deal with it completely on my own (which I was always afraid of, thus relying on my instructor's understanding) and all talks went surprisingly smoothly and confidently, even the one when I had to give clarifying info while already on final approach.

P.S. I did have confusion about the need of turning airplane lights on before departure and told it to my instructor after getting back. His reaction was funny: "If the only confusion you had was about 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵, then everything is fine about you!" 😄
