I can't even attempt to solo until I reach a minimum of 25 flying hours with my school. Then my instructor said he may solo me around 28 hours. I asked why until then and he said its their school policy not solo anyone until they reach 25 hours. Anyone know a better school than Professional Flight Training in Hartford CT?

It wasn't that long ago 12/17/03. Got delayed once because my Med Cert. had the wrong b-day on it and they wouldn't let me fly until I got that corrected. I'd have to pull out my log book to check, but I think I had about 15 hours though it may have been 13. My landings were pretty darn good, if I say so myself and I even got to fly the pattern with Harrison Ford--he was flying in to check on the maintenance being done to his Beaver.

July 1992, I don't have the logbook with me to check the exact date and time right now though.
The first solo was mid-morning on November 23, 1996, 49 Hours @ TV4 and 11 months after my first CFI make a big smoking crater.
On December 4, 1996, I was cleared to solo out of SLC, but got stopped by a blizzard.
On January 27, 1997, I first soloed for a second time with a new airplane, instructor, airport, city, state, elevation, and so on. I did my first solo cross country that day, too.
In July 2000, I soloed my first student.

I soloed 4/18/98 at 10 hours. Don't think I've ever been that nervous in my life.

2/19/02-15.9 hours, N9203B, KOBE, my instructor weighed 210 pounds and I remember thinking to myself after the first takeoff how did I get to pattern altitiude on the crosswind, usually I didn't get up there until midfield downwind.
Other than that, pretty uneventful, my instructor had his handheld and was on the ramp snapping photos of every landing like a proud parent. Pulled up to the ramp after three landings and smiled for about a week.
