He made a major mistake with his little "forget the plan, I'm going south" adventure on his last solo. What really gets me is I don't think he knows how much of a bad idea this really was... and more importantly how much this attitude could burn him in the future. Admittedly I don't know the eastern US well enough to understand how much of a detour this was, but a mid-flight change with limited daylight hours into unknown weather patterns is a good way to get yourself into trouble fast. A perfect example that suggests you should take longer than a week to fly an aircraft.
