If flying solo is an intence feeling imagine taking up your father, the one who showed you your first airplane when you were practically a month old! That was really intense!

I get nervous because the whole flying process seems so huge and unknown to me while im on the ground, you know? I know all the emergency procedures, but will i be able to remain calm when my life is actually at stake? If I want to fly into Orlando Intl. for a quick touch-and-go by my workplace what do I do? Do I call Orlando tower or Orlando approach first? What happens if I accidently stray into someones airspace for a minute or two then correct myself and fly back out? The Orlando area has a TON of airspace to worry about.

What it is, is that I still have so many questions. Im under the false pretence that I should know everything a 30,000 hour commercial pilot knows when Im a humble 50 hour private one. I know the rules, I know what to do. I think it's just a matter of applying them and actually doing it in the real world.
