ACCORDING TO THE STUDENT'S FLT INSTRUCTOR (CFI), HE (THE CFI) HAD INFORMED GROUND CONTROL THAT THE STUDENT WAS GOING TO BE ON HIS 1ST SOLO FLT & WAS GOING TO FLY ONCE AROUND THE PATTERN. REPORTEDLY, THIS RADIO CALL WAS MADE BEFORE THE CFI DEPLANED AFTER DUAL INSTRUCTION. THE STUDENT THOUGHT THAT THE CFI'S ADVISORY WOULD BE COORDINATED WITH LOCAL CONTROL.
