Congratulations! Next time you'll be sitting there thinking about what you're doing that weekend going how many landings was that?
 
Congrats. The first one is fun.

Congrats! I think the first solo is the most stressful thing for a lot of CFIs. I know I was a nervous wreck.


Gratz again!
 
I was never really nervous when any of my students soloed. I guess I was just callous to the fact that I was confident in them. At any rate, that is a good step, altough I think I was more worried about ones first solo cross country.
Congratulations!
 
I was alittle nervous...but after his first touch and go all my worries went away. The next big step is the solo xc :panic: I'm loving instructing!

Tower told my student to expedite off the runway once, and she drove off the runway trying to make the next taxiway!! :panic:

She, and the airplane were fine.

From then on I told all the student pilots to key "unable" and let the airplane come to a rolling stop with light brakes.

Congrats man!! I have soloed dozens of pilots and it doesn't get much easier! :D

How many hours did they have?
