First flight under ATC (on pilotedge)

Just did my first flight under ATC on pilotedge tonight, and wow what a blast! Definitely had some mike fright at first but it turned out to be a lot of fun. Nothing special, just took a beech turbine duke up for some pattern work. I flew under the callsign N986T. I did make some blunders -- especially with the taxiing -- but the controller was very patient and professional about the matter and did a good job of turning it into a learning opportunity for me. I'd like to give him a very big thank you in the event that he sees this.

All around a great experience, and can't wait to get back on the next time!

WELCOME TO THE COMMUNITY!
Regardless of your level of experience, I would like to suggest the pilot training program along with doing the free workshops!
Both can be found in the "pilot center" section of the PilotEdge website!

Afterwards, try the alphabet challenge. www.myflightroute.com

Kyle, thank you very much! I'm doing exactly what you suggested and going through the training program, starting at the very basics with the V1 certification -- that's what I'm currently practicing. Thanks also for the suggestion on the alphabet challenge!
