Solo cross country flights came next, and the winter weather would soon set in. I had 78.8 total hours, 24.3 of which were solo. I took my check ride, on a windy, bumpy, spring day. The plane was bouncing all over the sky, and it would have been a vomit comet for the faint of heart. I did well, though, and the Designated Examiner said that my many hours in the plane showed, as I was able to hold course and altitude in those conditions.
Dreams do come true.
