My first solo - and the worst flight of my life

I left this morning for my first supervised solo. My flight
instructor is a new guy, about 25 who's never taught students before a
month ago. But he seems to know his stuff, so I've put up with him
for this long.

Until today.

We take off from Addison to McKinney TX airport, arrive at McKinney
and begin pattern work. Apparently my pattern wasn't tight enough so
my instructor who I guess is having a bad morning starts yelling at
the top of his lungs, "90 KEEP IT AT ****ING 90 ON DOWNWIND!!". I

That's enough, I don't need to hear more. Very simple: switch instructors.
He/she works for you, do not accept this behavior from your employee. Since
you said there are at least 4 other instructors in the FBO, go talk to them
(interview a replacement). You'll get a better instructor (for sure) and
you'll get the benefit of another CFI's experience. You will lose very
little of your investment as the records of your training are verified in
both your logbook and the FBO files. Do it.

Have fun getting your PVT,
