Ah you mean the sound sequence that was stolen by Hollywood and used for every helicopter startup ever since even if the helicopter in question happens to be a piston? Yes I rather like that noise too.
Brilliant Brilliant Brilliant. I will always remember my first solo in a R22 never forget how it lifted to the hover at less manifold pressure and hung left skid low as for there being less weight and my fantastic instructor Capt. George Kelson what a Guy Owe him everything
Awesome solo! Same for me i remember that when i got my PPL SE the instructor just left the airplane on the runway and he told me: " you are alone see u later!" 😁 I will never forget it. Machine used was GROB-G115 and later Cessna 172
Beth. What a joy it was to watch you fly this evening. You have the “touch” to fly helicopters! Excellent control and a beautiful job of hovering and air taxiing! I love the way you continually scan the area as you fly. May you always have clear skies and a wonderful career. I’m a Dual-rated pilot and always enjoyed helicopter flying when I could get it. The Bell 206L-3 and 412 are my faves. God bless and looking forward to seeing more vids of you!
Well done, beautiful, professional, another person who shares the sky with birds. I will never forget my first solo flight, a unique feeling that you never forget in your life. Well done also to the instructor who taught the student to fly so beautifully. Air greetings from Slovenia
What Airline are you Flying for i Will deffinitely book when you are on Roster 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 Great Flight up and Down the M40 awesome .... also this is only the Start of getting bitten by the Fly Bug great effort ... Beth ....
For some reason - the youtube algorhythm thought I might enjoy your video.... *I DID!* Very well done! Congrats and best wishes for your continued learning and developing skills!
Brilliant Beth. 🤩🤩🤩 I have fond memories of my time around twenty-five years ago flying regularly in and out of Elstree - fixed wing. Lovely flight, lovely scenery.
Beth, A bit late but Congratulations on the "first" solo. brings back memories on my first solo 43 years ago in an old Cessna 152, and again when converting to helicopters, welldone, many safe happy flying hours
Congratulations and well done! As you were prepping to lift my heart was racing with anticipation, I started to get nervous as if I was sitting in that seat 🎉
Well done Beth - nice flight girl! You always remember your first solos (...and all the rest of them...😉) Congrats 👏 .................To fly is Heavenly - To Hover, Divine! 🚁
Well done and congratulations on obtaining your first solo. The world is your oyster now that you have achieved this. Have a great time being a helio pilot.
Well done Beth. Remember my first solo nav in the R22 back in 2020, handled completely differently once the instructor got out. Only those who have achieved this know how special it is. Would have been better to have heard the comms.
I know what you mean with the R22, it performs much better with one person. A blast to fly, but can't wait for the turbine transition. I started flying helicopters at age 71, after 50 years of flying fixed wing.
@aztomt406 father used to fly fixed wing, used to refer to me as the rotary washing line pilot - until I pointed out to him that you fly a helicopter.... you point a plane ! Good luck with the transition
Elstree Helicopters congratulations for you and your student Beth. She is so calm and her body language seems to be in the same level. It talks about your training and also about your kind of professionalism. Of course Beth have a lot to say here and my big congratulations to her. You did a fantastic job!!! Bye!!!
Great job Beth, flew it like a pro, I'm so proud of you. Not many people can fly helicopters, it is much more difficult than flying planes. Congratulations and stay safe and remember as soon as you are on the ground and the collective is bottomed out, immediately reduce rotor rpm.
This to me is absolutely magical. The meticulous planning and going over the pre-flight checklist; all so demanding and requiring of laser focus, not to mention fantastic co-ordination, all necessary to make it happen. Yeah, the final payoff is nothing less than magic. But myself, being of modest means besides being more UN-coordinated than anyone I know, (plus being a daft old guy), precludes me from ever attempting anything so noble as this. Fun to vicariously enjoy the thrill, though! Brava to you, Beth! I'm sure many delightful experiences and joyful hours in the air await you!
Congrats on the solo. I truely miss that iconic startup sound. Crew chief on uh1 and uh60for ten years. Unit next to us had what you just flew bell ranger know in army as OH58.
Great vid (thumbs up), but I had to turn the volume up at the start to get a comfortable level then the music started and almost blew my eardrums in at about 10:17
I don't know Beth but I am , for some reason, immensely proud of her. What a first solo flight! Either that's a lot of hard work or Beth's a natural. Or both!
I envy you. Was always my dream to be a helicopter pilot. Started out going for PPL then found out (at the time) you couldn't be a commercial pilot if you were colourblind so I had to give up the dream. Now at 61 I'm just a Jetranger pilot in MSFS, the closest I'll ever come.
Congratulations Beth. You can be very proud of yourself.
im just hear for the legendary start up sound
Ah you mean the sound sequence that was stolen by Hollywood and used for every helicopter startup ever since even if the helicopter in question happens to be a piston? Yes I rather like that noise too.
CLEAR! before start up missing?
Hai 😂😂😂
We all are!
Me two
Brilliant Brilliant Brilliant. I will always remember my first solo in a R22 never forget how it lifted to the hover at less manifold pressure and hung left skid low as for there being less weight and my fantastic instructor Capt. George Kelson what a Guy Owe him everything

Awesome solo! Same for me i remember that when i got my PPL SE the instructor just left the airplane on the runway and he told me: " you are alone see u later!" 😁 I will never forget it. Machine used was GROB-G115 and later Cessna 172
Congratulations! Very well done!Thank you for sharing that once in a lifetime ride with the rest of the world!
Great job. Congratulations!
Nice hai 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Good stuff 👌
i love how Bath owned the clock. She took whatever time she thought she needed as she ran through the checklist. Well done Paul and Beth.
That was such an impressive first solo. Light on the controls, slick, careful and confident maneuvers. Handling that helo like it was part of you!
Beth, you made it look so smooth. Definitely a steady hand and nerves, great job!
Congratulations on this Victory of many to come, I am very happy for your success, Miss Beth
Don't know how I came across this video but it was a joy to watch well done girl you are one hell of a pilot.
Beth. What a joy it was to watch you fly this evening. You have the “touch” to fly helicopters! Excellent control and a beautiful job of hovering and air taxiing! I love the way you continually scan the area as you fly.

That was brilliant. I live in St Albans and know roughly where you flew, enjoy your WINGS!
Awesome, way to go Beth👍
Well done Beth I really enjoyed that. Respect to your instructors'. Ill do this after I win the lotto
Excellent, you look full of confidence. Happy flying.
Well done, beautiful, professional, another person who shares the sky with birds. I will never forget my first solo flight, a unique feeling that you never forget in your life. Well done also to the instructor who taught the student to fly so beautifully. Air greetings from Slovenia

Congratulazioni, I remember my first solo with Bell 206 32 years ago . After Bell 412 and A109E .
Congratulations Beth, I envy you so much, the 1st solo must be so scary but also so exciting. 👍
What Airline are you Flying for i Will deffinitely book when you are on Roster 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 Great Flight up and Down the M40 awesome .... also this is only the Start of getting bitten by the Fly Bug great effort ... Beth ....

c'est un moment génial, je vous envie ! profitez en au maximum 🥰
Fantastic. Well done you. In the words od sade. Smooth operator.😊
One of the best and exhilarating feelings....flying solo for first time...Congrats!
This must be a type rating for the 206. I mean, who does their first solo in a turbine heli. Or Beth is wealthy??
I remember doing my first solo in fixed wing as if it was yesterday. She will especially in rotary wing as it is a big accomplishment.
Es la mejor manera de disfrutar un helicóptero,,con suvidad y sutileza...aplausos..
Absolutely superb flying hats off to you, I’m very impressed, take care and kind regards Mark from Billericay Essex 😃😃👍👍
Magical. Loved the smile at the end. I'm waiting to win the lottery. 😊
For some reason - the youtube algorhythm thought I might enjoy your video.... *I DID!* Very well done! Congrats and best wishes for your continued learning and developing skills!
That feeling will never leave you well done you and your Instructors enjoy

Elle est jolie, zen, elle maîtrise calmement et elle pilote un hélico. Laissez-en un peu pour les autres, Beth 🙂. Greetings from France.

Paul here … Fixed-wing land 350 hrs pic. I always wanted to fly a helicopter. Congratulations Beth.‼️‼️‼️🚀
Bravo. An excellent pilot in the making - a natural.
She made it look easy... dang... that's awesome.
Well done Beth. Remember my first solo nav in the R22 back in 2020, handled completely differently once the instructor got out. Only those who have achieved this know how special it is. Would have been better to have heard the comms.
A good cfi will some times add weights in the seat on the r22
I know what you mean with the R22, it performs much better with one person. A blast to fly, but can't wait for the turbine transition. I started flying helicopters at age 71, after 50 years of flying fixed wing.

Great vid (thumbs up), but I had to turn the volume up at the start to get a comfortable level then the music started and almost blew my eardrums in at about 10:17
Awesome control and flying. Something I've always wanted to do, but can never afford it all the way. loved it
Congratulations Beth! I'm so jealous. I was fixed wing my whole flying career but always wanted to fly helos
Loved my flight in G-CLAY
Great job Beth!! 👍
Congrats Beth, well done. Best wishes. 👍🏻

Well done Beth, that looked really good. I remember my solo in an Enstrom 280 without a governor many years ago, exiting but scary!
Awesome 👌.... great solo !
Very cool to go with you.
Really awesome flight Beth. Good job.
