During your first solo you are flying the aircraft on downwind in the circuit, and the tower advises of a runway change. Describe your actions.
Next landing full stop
Clear runway, conduct after landing cx
R/T ground for taxi to check bay
Taxi to check bay or ORP and do before takeoff checks
Taxi to new runway, conduct line up checks

During your first solo you are conducting your final landing. What are your restrictions for exiting the runway?
Cannot exit at first taxiway.
During your first solo you are 400ft upwind and you notice a rumbling sound, reduction in engine noise and significant deceleration with PCL still at max. Describe your actions.
- Zoom: Adopt a 10° NU attitude
- PCL fuel off
- Trim: Run the trim back
- Turn away from built-up areas if time permits
- RT call: “Mayday, Charlie 15, abandoning (if time permits)
- Eject once airspeed is 120KIAS, wings level, climbing
During a solo sortie you conduct the pre-landing checks on downwind and notice the landing gear light all remain red followed by an amber GEAR caution and attention getter. Describe your actions.
- Boldface: Airspeed below 180KIAS
- Continue to fly the circuit pattern at 1000’
- Communicate issue to DI/ATC + PAN call
- Conduct checklist items (Get DI to read to reduce workload
- If issue resolved, land after consulting DI
- If issue not resolved, consider ejection
