Title: solo
Post by: Zigrat on September 05, 2002, 03:42:07 PM

Flew solo for the first time! It was alot of fun, I was a bit nervous at first but everything went OK. I tell you I could definitely tell the difference in performance with the instructor out of the cockpit (c152), must have shaved more than a hundred feet off the take off distance. My landings were pretty good too although on one I did flare a little bit to much and ended up floationg a bit before I touched down, but it wasn't too bad. Anyways I am having a blast and I encourage all of you armchair pilots to try the real thing :D

Yeah, my first solo was in a Piper Traumahawk, and all I could think was how much better it climbed without the instructor.  Also, I could see to my right for a change.
