First Solo Flight - Palo Alto Cessna 152 - Neil Parris

There's probably a hundred of these on YouTube, here's mine. After starting to learn to fly in June, I did my first solo at the start of August. As you can probably guess, the solo is where your instructor gets out of the plane for the first time. A number of feelings go through your mind at that point, a combination of fear, anxiety and excitement all at the same time. After the first landing the rest is a lot easier. In fact I probably relaxed a little too much on the second and third time round as my first landing was probably the best.

Thanks to my instructor Patti for the video and comentary, and to Julia for the photos, and my wife Fran for her support!

Landing is probably one of the most difficult parts of the flight training. Have you done any more flying?
