    well done mate. Now you will spend endless hours doing cross country navigations. Planning them, flying them and feeling the satisfaction when you hit that waypoint on time as you calculated on your map. You'll feel even better when you have calculated the right course correction with the current crosswind at that specific altitude. Also you will never again have an "ordinary" flight again when you fly with your instructor, he will have you train on emergency procedures all the time.

    When you are alone in the pattern doing your touch and go's think about how you would do it if you had an engine failure. Always be aware of you sourroundings so that you know where you could go.

    Also when you have a couple of cross countries with your instructor expect that he one day will suddnely tell you that you have to abort the cross country and head back home. He will have you calculate new headings and speeds on the fly in the cockpit.

    I have my Private, Night,instrument, multi, CFI and CFII and about 4000 hours. I stopped flying due to some issues however i do remember it and miss it some days. I don't miss the cost :)
