- First solo went fairly well. Messed up a little here and there. The canopy caught me off guard (as you will see), 'canopy down and locked' is in the runup checklist, and not in the before takeoff checklist. Lesson learned. Constructive feedback only please.
Aircraft used: CZAW SportCruiser.
Location: KFTY

interesting the difference in pilot training today and 1964 when I soloed at 16 years old. A dutifully strapped knee board and check list strapped to the leg. An over reliance on written check llists, bells buzzers and gizmos. for small aircraft leads to, as demonstrated by the canopy error, that using your brain to double check yourself, developing an awareness of your aircraft seem to be a lost art. Also those long shallow approaches that seem to be the trend today. They are for me less safe than a steeper airspeed managed descent with flair, there is both safety in altitude and sufficient energy. You did a good job, not faulting you just observing the training regimen, generated by modern protocols and liability no doubt. My instructor drilled the check list into my head until I could repeat it verbally, and process the information juxtaposed to the information my senses were recording from the aircraft. oh well gone are the days.
centerline, centerline, centerline my friend!!! NIce job after a very few hours. remember you can smile every once in a while...your flying !
Congratulations... nice job. Your instructor should be complimented, and you appear to have natural ability and discipline. With only 8.4 hours, this was impressive. If your plans include being a professional aviator... you're off to a very good start.

My congratulations to you. I have done my first solo last week on a Eurostar...after 16 hours logged.
Nice video. Thank you for posting it. Keep flying and enjoy it.
Looked pretty good to me! I am hoping to do my solo in the Sport Star max. I Just turned 14 a month ago and have clocked around 8-9 hours. Cant wait till I turn 15....... FLYING SOLO!!!!!!!
Ya did great! (and for the record jamming your cellphone mic in your headset was clever..heh)
Amazing! Way to avoid that ice on the right side of the runway.
Very nice. I'd only say add a little right rudder when you flare in the landing because of the AOA.
Good job! Now is when we REALLY begin to learn to fly! As an LSAer, check out the Sting LSA line sometime. They are real rockets, when pulled by the French-made DUC Swirl propeller (see recently posted performance video on my channel)
Congrats on your solo. And thanks for the video. Curious if you have flown any other LSA's and how they compare to the SportCruiser. I am training in an Evektor but am eying SportCruiser as my purchase.
great job!
I have the same issue on landing just instinctively wanting to drive down the left side of the runway. I guess it's because the left side is the fast lane and I want to avoid slower traffic. if I remind myself I hit centerline every time, but just casually flying I stay in the fast lane.
My instructor would have been on you about staying on center line
Does thing have an air conditioner ?
I,m just in the middle of my training and am looking at the sport cruiser when qualified, how do you rate it ?
Is it me or is he approaching low each time?
i think he is approaching low......scares me......
I'm still chicken after 67 hours? My CFI says I can do it, but my mind says yea right, and you are dead with one error that's on my PPL Cessna 172, but I'm sure going to an LSA will not help me.
Very nicely done ... great plane and good music

That music sure sucks.
Man who is stepping on the dudes nuts that is singing the song? He better not quit his day job. Music sucks ruined the video
