First Flight Solo – What To Expect

by Jason Schappert

First Flight Solo! For students it can be a thrill for instructors like myself… It quite honestly makes me nervous. I know my student is ready otherwise I wouldn’t have signed him or her off however there is still the slightest feeling of anxiety.

If you’re nervous about your first solo or are unsure as what to expect check out this video! As I left the camera rolling in the back while my two most recent students soloed.

    Thanks for the video ;) My first solo is approaching…
    Today we did no instrument patterns and then three no engine downwind to landing…

    Great video – although it’s probably for the better that I only have photo evidence of my first solo, as I let out many more “wooos” once I was airborne. ;-)

    I love soloing students! Scary for me but absolutely a blast once finished!
