Do to bad weather,and planes being down i finally had a nice day to do my first solo. Did 3 touch n go's and probably the best 3 landings I have done so far. I already completed my dual xcountry, night xcountry, and hood time.. so now just need prob 9 flights until the big one. Here is the...

Well completed my night xcountry last night after one previous attempt while losing all comms leading to turn back and termination of flight . Then 3 nights of cancellations do to a front. It Started off well until I got into the pattern at my destination which had a direct crosswind. Awos...

Great job. Keep it up. I just did my night xcountry last night. It was fun but I felt like I took a step backwards when I got into the pattern. Lol. Night changes everything haha

Congrats!!!!!

Sounds like a great lesson

Congrats!

Sorry I didn't explain it much. This was for me to solo.. we only had an hour. Been trying to get in a day to solo. But just my luck.. the day before I did the same but winds just keep getting bad for me to go alone.

Ya.. we went out the other day. It was windy. But after 4 in the pattern he said land her and I will get out. So of course thought finally! But on final we both looked at the wind sock it was straight and showing a nice crosswind.. I called tower and asked for winds. Ya 15 knot crosswind. And I...

Sounded like you had a great flight. Remember it's not bad to look outside. You are flying VFR.. don't fix on instruments lol..

Yes great app.. another app I really like and gives you take off and landing distance, weather, xwind, and even a risk analyzer is (Cessna 172 performance).

It's just a fun rollercoaster ride.. I guess one good thing when it is time to fly you appreciate it more.

Nope, but I will have more control in hours when to fly. At my school there is never availability unless you book a few weeks out . So if my instructor only has 2 days next week with my hours that's it. If I get out of work early there is usually no chance in getting flight time. That's my...

Yup.. but also the luck of time. If I book the morning it's overcast then lifts at noon. If I book afternoon like I normally do the it's a bunch of things.. not just weather. But I totally get it.. well I just use the time to watch videos and read up on things lol

No sorry. What I meant was we did patterns and was dropping CFI off to taxi back to just solo. But then winds started gusting 24knots And each time after same issue

I schedule about 3-4 days a week. But due to weather and stuff all but one have been getting cancelled. Few times Instructor just asked what I thought and I cancelled the ones on the border. I stick to my app I use called takeoff. If any of my minimums are in the red it's a no go.. as a student...

Hi Everyone, I started a post a few months back stating how I wanted to take flying lessons which was a life long thought but the wife was not in agreement with it. But after contemplating it for a long time I just went ahead and started. I told her I will take it a day at a time and see how...

Well I really didn't have much of a choice. My first instructor was a part time guy. He was mid 20s and had his training from the University with aeronautical degree. Really laid back sometimes wondered if to laid back. He left to fly a learjet. My current CFI ex airforce, also mid 20s I'm...

Welcome aboard!

Being a student pilot my self I really enjoy the gauges. They are there to scan over and look back outside. If your getting caught up staring I side at the beautiful colors things will catch up to you quick. Don't get me wrong I love technology and do believe it's the future but But I just love...

Enjoyed reading this post since going on my dual xcountry next week. Was supposed to solo this week but planes are in the shop one for new avionics and the other 100hr. Next week i will be flying 4 days , one being the xcountry. But weather is looking like it might be a problem. I'm going to...
