- I recorded my first solo!! I admit, I was a little nervous, and therefore mixed up communication phrases. Overall, it was an amazing flight, and I owe it all to my CFI!!!

good job Captain, very proud of you ,can't wait to see you on B747
Thanks Dad! Everything that I am and ever will be, is solely because of you.
Attadad!
Aww lovely father and son relationship
Brings back memories of my solo back in 2007
I soloed at Whiteman in 1974. Brought back memories. Thanks. Good job.
Wonderful job sir! I completed my first solo flight on February 21st, 2020!
How was it
If you don’t mind me asking, how many hours did you have by the time you did your solo?
Great job, thanks for taking me along...some day I want to do the same. My dad and I used to fly when I was about 12 yo. Great memories when he was still alive. Thanks. Fly safe. Paul
Great Job!!!! Maybe just tune into atis before requesting taxi clearance so your up to the right information before taxiing, but good job!👍
Thanks man! Yea I admit that was a slight slip up on my part. I was training with my instructor earlier that day non-stop and atis change twice while in air. Came back to land, he jumped out and told me to do it alone. I wasn't even expecting to solo that day to be honest 😅
Nice work mate! Smooth, very smooth. Cool, calm and collected
Enjoyed this video thank you for sharing it congratulations on your solo flight
I love how he reassures himself that he says it out loud so he's not like "wait did I check this?" love it I'm also a student pilot too so I'm definitely gonna need to try this!
Thanks man! I definitely recommend talking out loud. It lets your passengers/copilot/instructor know what's going on as well as keep you on track. Good luck with your studies!
@@madness2live I’m definitely gonna try it it will make my life a whole lot easier lol
saw your video. just did my discovery flight earlier this morning. I hope I can do just as well. Nice job!!!
Congratulations and welcome to an extremely fun career/hobby! With handwork, dedication and time you too will also being soloing very soon. Good luck in your training, man!
Good job!
Great flight and cool instructor best of both worlds
Awe maaan...great experience..
Like many have said..brings back memories..thanks for sharing
Great job I love the way you explained everything you're doing
I have my first solo coming up in a few day! I’m a bit nervous but also excited!
Congratulations man! It's quite the milestone! Enjoy it while it lasts, and remember - you're instructor wouldn't have signed you off unless they knew you were ready :)
How did it go?
Dan G good! It was scary because I didn’t know when he was going to have me actually fly by myself, and after doing 3 laps in the pattern, he had me taxi off, and solo 3 laps in the pattern by myself. It was one of the funnest moments I’ve had.
@@HeyBigChriss Glad to here things went smooth! Great job!
I want to ask you who does this?....YOU DO!...welcome to the next level of skills that puts you above your average person, you are now a pilot....good job and well done. How does that feel walking away.... Like you won a race? Well wave your flag....you just won!!!
Thank you!!! This was indeed quite the milestone for me :D
Nice man. I’m a beginner, just starting my training. I only have 4 hours in a C172. Stuff is pretty cool and I’m nervous as well as excited for this day in a couple years. Nice flying.
Thanks man!! Your future path holds so many fun adventures and challenges. Stay tough, and keep your head in the game! You're gonna have to work your tail off, but I promise you - the day you get your license, you're gonna feel on top of the world!!
DannyThePilot how old are you because I’m 16 and I want to get started too
How many hours now? Been 7 months
@@andrewjg_ Im 15 and have 3 hours, so start soon I guess
Charlie Sinclair I’m 13 and starting in a c172. I think I have about 12 hours
How exciting!
Excellent Captain
Great job. I used to live a 5 minute drive from that airport. Flew there once with an instructor in a Skyhawk around 2003. I think I had the same tower controller. He talks fast! It looked like you had a windy day. I didn't have to make nearly so many corrections to keep the plane straight on final. Congrats on your solo. I've only got about 35 minutes total flight time and a bunch of simulator hours. Maybe someday I'll solo too.
Thank you! Yea he's definitely a speed bird haha, he actually recently retired - gonna miss him. Aviation is expensive, keep practicing on the sim and when you feel you've built the skill you can get some time in a real plane. I'm confident you'll solo and get your license one day. Determination is key!! Good luck man
I may take lessons soon. I'm excited but not scared. I believe I was born for it!
Keep that positive attitude! Aviation is tough in the beginning but completely rewarding at the end! Study hard, remember your goals and you'll be unstoppable. Best wishes for you man!
Looks good bro 💯 keep working on your radio communication practice makes perfect 👍
Congratulations Sir! Nicely done!
Thank you!
Very nice and congrats. I just started training in a 172 and hope to follow in your footsteps soon.
Welcome to the secret club of pilots! hahah I'm glad you have an interest in aviation. I'm weeks away from taking my check-ride and (hopefully) becoming a private pilot! Just a word of advice, its a tough road ahead of you. You have to absolutely study! No slacking off. If you want the license, you have to work for it! Good Luck!
I hear ya and advice taken. I'be been simming for years so this is a dream come true. My instructor said simming is great with the exception that most simmers turned pilots have to train themselves to look more out the window than at the instruments. My first lesson was amazing and I did really well. I have my FAR/AIM and started on the POH for the 172. This will be the most "fun" studying I've ever done. Good luch on your check ride, that's amazing! Stay in touch . . .
Niceee!
Congratulations👍👍. You did a fantaatic job on your first solo flight! I hope I can do the same some day. 😁
Congratulation.great job
Great work
Great job! Just be sure to always check the final before entering a runway (10:43)
Great job !!
VERY well done! Grtz from EHBK!
NICE!!
Tower did the same thing to me on my solo - Announcement just before touching.
Nice! congrats. ... I too soloed at KWHP but was back in 1991!
good job
Heck yea bro! I am in an aviation club! i am flying for the first time in two weeks with an instructor! its gonna be fun!
Good luck man, I'm sure you'll love it!
@@madness2live You should make more videos and increase you followeres.
@@nerd_alert926 Definitely more vids to come soon! I've just been so busy with university that I haven't been able to record and edit my flights. I'm glad you liked my video :)
My guy u should've heard the atis before making a radio call to ground.
Overall, congrats on that solo.
Good job done, but I wanna ask you why no after t/o checks , no downwind checks, no base leg and final approach check?
Thank you, the checks were done, I do a combination of mental and verbal checks throughout the video.
Nicely done
Congratulations
nice❤️
That was awesome!
So jealous! 😎😀
Great video! I just did a discovery flight at Van Nuys. I am on a waitlist for 6-8 weeks to begin training for PPL.
MotoJim how’s that going
Nice landing kid. Kung fu death grip and all lol
what flight instructor/ company did you or do you still fly with?
Glendale Community College aviation program. TJ is one of their 172N models.
Dude! Just to let you know, while your back was turned, the other guy snuck up behind you and cut your shirt.
Holy crap you're right! I was wondering how my shirt got all torn up! 😂
Trying to give myself some confidence before my first solo. I am confident with someone riding shotgun, but being 1k' up by myself seems terrifying still.
Just remember that you're only sent solo when your instructor is sure you're ready. They can judge it way better than you, so trust in your training and simply do what you were taught to!
George, Don left the faculty last December. Not sure if you're still in contact with him.
Really?! Aww man, I'm going to miss him. I had his phone number when he was training me so as long as he hasn't changed it I can still reach out to him. What happen, why did he leave?
Awesome! Great job!
How many hours were you at when you did your fist solo?
I know mine will be coming up but to be honest, I'm not trying to hurry it
Thank you! I believe I had around 17-18 hours prior to my solo. No rush! Take your time, you'll be ready when you're ready. Each person learns at their own pace so don't try comparing your hours to anyone else. Good luck man!
👏👏👏
I'm going to solo on January 3rd if the weather is good and I am so nervous lol
Good Luck! Remember, your instructor wouldn't have signed you off until he/she knew you were 110% ready to solo! Just a word of advice - when you first lift off, you'll feel how significantly lighter the plane is with only you on board. If you look super close at the video, I was surprised at how much more sensitive the yoke was and played around with it a bit just after leaving the ground. Revise your knowledge, and go in confident!! :D
madness2live wasn't able to solo on the third due to the crosswind but I did today!! it was amazing!
@@cc-bo7nr Congratulations!!!! You did it! I'm so proud and happy for you man! Only a little more to go untill you get your license!
Nice flight. But I never heard you do a climb, cruise, or landing checklist???? What's up with that? Anyhow this video is 3yrs old and you should be more improved and hopefully doing your inflight ✔list. Awesome job tho.
Thanks Corey! I used a flow system during this flight. As a matter of fact, I'm reading off checklist items and combining a flow together throughout the entire flight as I talk to myself. You can't see it in this video, but there were a few "mini" checklist items taped to the instrument panel. As you said, this is 3 years ago, and I've now adapted to just using the big checklist on the front side pocket.
Thank you for explaining why you cut the shirt
I'm at 14.3 hours and can't solo yet because I'm not 16 yet I turn 16 Nov 20, 2019 I am looking forward to soloing on my birthday and getting my driver's license the next day! So far the training has gone good the landings are frustrating but something very important to learn! I hope someday to become a commercial pilot! If you want to check out my first video of my flight lesson and rate my landing haha thanks!!
Sounds like you're well on your way Presley! Keep up the hard work and dedication. Trust me, with enough practice you'll nail those landing like butter every single time! I'll make sure to check out your video! :)
Great job, man! How old were you in this?
LudwigVanAdam Hi Ludwig! Thank you! I was 17 when I flew in this vid and got my license a few months later at 18 :D
Awesome work, keep it up! I'm currently working on my PPL
LudwigVanAdam Follow me on instagram @madness2live I can dm you to some awesome study materials!
madness2live Okay! I’ll have to create a new one because my meme page that had 700 followers got hacked lol
I am now doing ppl
That's an awful lot of hangar door just to get a plane out
Mine is in 9 hours😬
One day...
How did you include the comms and radios sound into the video?
Hey Jonathan, someone previously asked the same question slightly below in the comments but I'll just copy and past my response: I used an Nflightcam audio wire. It connects to my headset, the plane's pannel, and any other recording device with a 3.5mm jack. I used my phone and the voice recording app that came stock with the phone to record the audio.
how do you connect into the aircraft headset and audio?
I used an Nflightcam audio wire. It connects to my headset, the plane's pannel, and any other recording device with a 3.5mm jack. I used my phone and the voice recording app that came stock with the phone to record the audio. The only negative side about this, is when editing your videos you'll need to line up the voice recording to the video - which could sometimes be a tedious task. That's why I said "radio check" 3 times so I could have an easy place holder when editing. Hope this helps! :)
@@madness2live Works wonders :)
I know this video is a few years old but can I ask how much it costs to get a pilots license? I've always wanted to get one.
Hey there! Cost depends on where you are, as schools have there own prices. I don't remember the exact cost, but it was somewhere around $7000 - $8000.
@@madness2live Thanks!
Hello, greetings from Miami. Are you still flying?
Hi Ronny, greetings from LA! Yes I'm still currently flying
madness2live awesome! Are you still private or went into comercial?
@@ronnyfraziertv8640 Still a private, but working on my commercial
madness2live good job man. I'm about to start with my classes. Best of luck with your carrier.
@@ronnyfraziertv8640 Best of luck man! Study hard, and the outcome will be rewarding - you got this!!
Are gonna fly commercial or private
Shooting for commercial!
Hey i got a question how much privet pilot license cost?
It honestly depends on which Flight School you're taking. But where I live, Hawaii, PPLs go for $8000-$8100.
We olny have cess 150 in morroco colleges
Its doesn't matter! The 172 and 150 are very similar :)
Better for the wallet
Are black people allowed to fly from white men airport? Please i want to do full stop landing there
How old are you?
Currently 19, but I was 17 when this was filmed
He's 18 years old.
lean a little til run up and takeoff, you ran rich whole time, fouling is as bad as anyother deadly condition
kelso Soprano I agree with fouling, but if you look at around 2:30, I lean the mixture. The checklist at my school says to " lean as necessary" because density altitude can effect how much we lean, but generally it's about 1 inch
madness2live right on bro! i must have missed that, im so anal about them there plugs throw`in the spark, it scares the hell out of me, i have been there twice in my life and it sucked...lol thanks for writing me back most youtubers dont, be safe and have fun my brother!
kelso Soprano Don't even worry about it boss! I'd be anal about it too if I ever experienced it!! But good thing we have checklists hahaha. I may not be super famous in RUclips, but I love interacting with people, especially those on my videos!
Are. You single?
Currently in a committed relationship with my Cessna 172.
end up getting the ppl?
