  • Hi Leon.

    It's a great feeling isn't it. How long did it take to pry the seat cushion from your ass!??

    I would suggest a higher and wider approach next time ....do a Boeing circuit. You looked a little low and early on finals.Otherwise ....not being an expert and soloed on the same field you did great.Many happy flying hours ...fly safe and always do your mass and balance and here in SA CHECK YOUR QNH FOR DENSITY ALT.

  • Tx. Almost done with night rating now.

  • Placed the camera on a small tripod in the baggage portion, tripod held to the frame using small bungy cables.

  • love the music what is it?

  • when i did my first solo the alerons crapped out on me in mid flight it crashed in a field 20 miles from san diego suffered a broken leg and 6/12 ribs broken but it warms my heart to see others do what they love

  • BOLETAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAA

  • LEOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BOLETAAAAAA

  • I wen't solo in a 152 after 6hours, but thats just because i had my ultralight license. :)

  • sweet

  • Good luck!

  • From other students (from different schools) I've spoken to, 8 hours is not uncommon, almost all are solo in the circuit only by 10-12 at the latest. No CFI would send someone up they didn't think was ready.

  • Your CFI must be a bloody fool! Sending someone solo no matter how good they are after only 8 hours is irresponsible!!

  • Nice job - ive got 5 hrs logged and im due for my solo in about 2-3 hours according to my CFI. Looking forward to it. Was it windy on the day?
