I took off, but…

Toady I was told I am running the checklists.  Oh and I was taxiing, oh and since you are on the runway you can take off.  Sheer terror…I did take off, but I did not anticipate HOW MUCH RIGHT RUDDER you need.  So, I was very left on the runway, centre line…what centre line.

I had no idea of the speed, at which point we left the ground, or if the instructor said words to me.  I was going left and it was all i could think of was to get off more right and up.  That is about all I remember for this take off, first time jitters.

We worked on exercise 6 Straight and Level Flight from the Flight Training manual.  In comparison to what I felt on take off that lesson was easy.

Clearish day, gusty.  Slow checklist kept flight hours to 0.8 Hours 2.5 Total
