UNAUTH LNDG AFTER WRONG ARPT APCH.

Narrative

I WAS ON MY FIRST SOLO XCOUNTRY AS A STUDENT PLT. MY RTE OF FLT WAS FROM DAYTONA TO MELBOURNE; TO SANFORD BACK TO DAYTONA. THE FLT WENT WELL FROM DAYTONA TO MELBOURNE. WHEN I DEPARTED OUT OF MELBOURNE I WAS A 1500 FT USING THE VOR. I NOTICED I WAS GETTING OFF COURSE SO I TURNED NE TO CORRECT BACK. I THEN PICKED UP MY NEXT CHK POINT AND DECIDED TO CONTACT SANFORD. I PUT MY SECTIONAL AWAY AND CALLED SANFORD TWR. TWR INSTRUCTED ME TO ENTER DOWNWIND RWY 9L. I SAW AN ARPT OFF TO MY L. I THOUGHT I WAS FURTHER THAN I ACTUALLY WAS; SO I BELIEVED THAT THE ARPT I SAW WAS SANFORD. I PROCEEDED TO ENTER HIS TFC PATTERN. I THEN TOLD THE TWR I WAS TURNING BASE FOR WHAT I THOUGHT WAS RWY 9. THE TWR INFORMED ME THAT THEY DID NOT HAVE ME IN SIGHT. I THEN NOTICED THAT IT WAS THE WRONG RWY AND I INFORMED SANFORD TWR THAT I DID NOT HAVE RWY 9 IN SIGHT. I TOLD THEM THAT I SAW RWY 7. I ASKED 3 TIMES IF I SHOULD GAR THEY DID NOT ANSWER ME; SO I LANDED. I PULLED OFF THE RWY AND FOLLOWED A GND VEHICLE. THEY TOLD ME THAT I HAD LANDED AT ORLANDO EXECUTIVE. THE PROBLEM OCCURRED FROM MY FAILURE TO CONTINUE TO USE MY SECTIONAL AND FLT LOG. I AM CURRENTLY DOING EXTRA XCOUNTRY TRAINING WITH MY INSTRUCTOR. WE ARE WORKING ON IMPROVING MY ARPT IDENT AND USE OF FLT LOGS AND SECTIONAL CHARTS.
