Did anybody else realize that he said valentines day was his first solo and he said it was February 21st ... Unless you have a different valentines day , mine is in February 14th ...
kind of strange watching a "first solo" where the pilot is messing around with the camera instead of staying focused on pilot duties. camera would be better if you just leave it on a tripod, turn it on and forget about it. good video but minus points for aeronautical decision making skills.
nice landing and the stall warning does not have to go off everytime you land. once you get used to the plane you can land without the stall warning going off. if you think it has to go off on every landing then you are an idiot and you are probably the guys everyone watches pitch to high and look like a dumbass landing..
I would say 18 knots of wind might be excessive for a first solo. I might recommend a steeper approach path. With an 18 knot headwind on final, if the engine would have quit, you'd have landed way short of the runway. Maybe that wouldn't be a big deal at that airport, but one where the runway starts at a lake shore, would be a big problem. I'm skeptical this was a first solo. First solos must be to a full stop...the touch and go wouldn't count.
Are you a "nobody"? I think at least you are somebody very happy to be flying, but better than to fly a cesna is to fly free and be free as a bird with no engine noise, just feeling the wind... soarrr glideee ... Congrats!!! Nice to see you first solo!!!
@popoi10yatesabe dude you should really get your facts straight, you can fly solo without your liscense as long as your instructor says so. you fly your solo without your liscense.
@slobbyhobbies thank for the comment, what made you think I couldnt land with 18 knt, that wasnt my first heavey cross wind landing. and the stall horn, well it just didnt go off, I'm not going to come in at almost stall with winds that high, i was at about 50, cant remember its been a while now
i have to admit, it does look like u r going very fast taxiing, but thats fine, congrats on the solo, i plane to be taking my first flight soon but solo isnt for a very long time
not bad but youcantell is your first solo you didnt really flare that much, too fast you had to be on idle and you did not. and youdidnt even had the stall buzzer wich mean that yo were kind of fast but not bad
thank you for your comment, even though it was my first solo, the winds were about 18 knots therefore the best thing to do is not come in on idle unless you want to be tossed around like a salad, lol.
Hey nice landings but yeah cut that power or have little to none on the landings. Also I'm surprised you didnt get in trouble taxiing so fast. It looked like you had enough airspeed to take off lol. I'm sure you know all of this by now but hey congrats on the solo.
February 21 is valentines day? Awesome

2 things. 1st landing looked pretty good although minimum flare. Second landing was a 3 pointer and flat. Hard on the nosewheel.
I would have been too distracted with the ca in one hand as I always keep my right hand on the throttle. Kool vid tho. Thanks
