Another point to note is that the first solo sessions will only release you into the circuit for take off and landing practice, you won't be released to do any form of cross country or local area flying until you have done dual sessions dealing with navigation and practice forced landings, some instructors may even like to touch on some basic instrument flying too just to cover all bases, it can be an anxious time for us instructors sending students off solo, so we like to know everything has been covered.

I watched several videos on youtube by a guy in the UK who goes by the name neutrinoghost (youtube name) he has some really good cross country videos in HD. Ive watched them a few times and the cross country looks really simple.
Same stuff Ive done for years in FSX. I know the real planes flys different but it looks very simple, check this video out and tell me if hes knows what hes doing..
