Thanks to the person who noticed the screeching sound effect played when the golf cart passes. (Sorry, I seemed to have inadvertently removed the original comment!)
Yes, indeed -- I actually remember seeing it. Bird strikes rarely cause seriously accidents, but you really don't want to fly into those fellow aviators (obviously). One of the most common damages caused by bird strikes (in fact, we had one of these at our flight school) are cracked windshields. Pretty scary if you're actually on the plane.
Thank you! To be honest, however, I squirm watching these landings today (I am now a Private Pilot and Advanced Ground Instructor) — the longitudinal axis/runway centerline alignments are quite off, among other things. But again, this was my first solo from over 5 years ago...
The camera was mounted on an ordinary tripod, secured to the baggage area (which is immediately behind the seats since the Cessna 152 is a 2-seater airplane) using bungee cords and the plane's built-in hooks for tying stuff down.
The audio from the intercom/radio was tapped directly from one of the plane's headphone jacks using a Y-splitter cable (which is standard equipment at our flight school, as we encourage students to make audio recordings of their flights, so that they can later utilize the ATC audio as well as conversations with the instructor as study material on the ground).
Actually, there was one more trick to the audio. I used a separate external microphone and a portable audio mixer to incorporate the ambient sound of the cockpit. Otherwise, had I plugged the Y-splitter cable directly into the camera's external microphone input, it would have been silent when I wasn't talking and there wasn't anything on the radio, which would have been pretty boring.
Congrats!! I will fly first solo tomorrow.

ソロフライトおめでとうございます。
見ていて、こちらがドキドキしました。
アプローチの時が、一番ドキドキします。
私は日本で操縦訓練を受けていますが、
わがことのように、どきどきしながら見させていただきました。
これは飛行時間が何時間目ですか？
水掛けが楽しそうですね。笑
今後のご活躍をお祈り申し上げます。

ご視聴ありがとうございます。
この時は、総飛行時間45時間くらいのころだったと思います。（初飛行から何年もまたいでちょくちょくやっていたので、初ソロまで45時間は長い方だと思います。具体的にソロを目指しての本格訓練開始からでいうと、約１ヶ月、20時間くらいだっとはずです。）

good flight !!
Anyone cannot forget the first flight!
Though I forgot the operation, however, I remember an impression at that time.

Very well done video. I did my first solo flight last week and uploaded a video of it. Its not as well done as this, but still does its justice. :)

where did you place the camera in the aircraft to get this view, and how did you record ATC communications?
