Narrative:
Overconfidence led me to believe that I was ready to solo without the permission of my instructor. This was in direct violation of the far. During my flight the throttle cable broke and I had to land at an unfamiliar airport. No damage was done; and no one got hurt. My careless and reckless behavior could have led to one or both of these to happen.
