My First Solo Flight!! FIT Aviation...Oct 21st 09 | 172SP

***Watch in HD***
First of all, thanks for stopping by! I've been attending FIT Aviation for 3 weeks now, but the actual lessons began like 2 weeks ago. I've been having the time of my life here at FIT! The school is simply awsome! The instructors and people
here are amazing!

On October 21st I did my first solo flight. I had to do 3 full stop taxi backs and then pick up my instructor who was waiting at the hold short line of the active runway! Afterwards my instructor Jeff Alford did a low pass in honor
of a succesful solo flight! Announcements were made when we got inside the FIT building and walah! First solo complete!! :D

Enjoy the video! Comments are highly appreciated! ;)

I did my first solo from a grass road in between two sugar cane fields. It was the greatest feeling seeing my instructor on the ground while gettting around for landing, he was probably praying. I did a short field landing and picked him up with an attitude already set in, seeing myself as an airline captain already! it was great.

@WorthWatchingVv lol im living in ireland but the pilot training college continues pilot training in that college, the whole fee for integreated pilot training program in 79,500 Euro. P.M. me for more info

I met one of the representatives at a college fair last night here in NY and he said that his friend was one of the instructors so I'm guessing you might know him =p, I don't know his name though. Nice video though, awesome views, that's why i love flying.

PS- how much is tuition there? Is it worth it? I'm thinking about going because the school sounds and looks amazing. Also, can i double major with aviation and computer science or some sort of engineering, or will it cost too much $?
