16 Year Old Flies Solo In Challenging Winds 

Dankjewel voor de leuke reactie!

​@@TheFlyingVin16 hello I am Indian and you?

@@GTU_latest_update_and_study I am dutch! 🇳🇱🧀

@@TheFlyingVin16 fist one thank for replies Dear I am 16 year old. I am interested in other counties Harat have you become my friend and do you like India and have you ever been to India

@@TheFlyingVin16 are you heare?

When I saw that I just said there had to be a comment found it lol

@@Pretzell578 😂

16 july 😂

Fast

Next year all 17😂😂

Thank you very much!

you're welcome!

Sei glöcklich, du gutes Kend!

Dankjewel!

You're welcome and thank you very much :)

I am really sorry to hear that. Isn't there any possibility for surgery?

@@TheFlyingVin16 I am ready for retirement soon. I had a good career in healthcare, but I would rather have been in aviation. Best wishes to your success.

Thank you very much!

Nice!

Thank you very much!

Why not? I mean, it might be helpfull for the student to practice with stronger winds.

@@TheFlyingVin16 I agree, but gently, gently, experience is not acquired in one go.

Like you a lifelong instructor/examiner. I would temper my decision to allow him to fly with my knowledge of his competence. He demonstrated that he was more than capable to handle the conditions although many others probably would not.

@@donsland1610 Agreed, but stronger winds are often associated with gusts and lulls. We both know that a sudden gust, especially if with a definite crosswind component just as the wheels touch down, can require a quick and accurate response. I would consider this level of almost automatic input is not acquired by the second solo flight. Also, who is carrying the can for a bent propellor, a dent in confidence, or worse?

Thank you very much! :)

Thank you very much! I try to speak as much english as possible so that more people understand what i am saying.

@@TheFlyingVin16 Thanks for that, but you sound like a person who learned English growing up here. If you have never lived here, that is amazing.

I listened again to your spoken English. It is your opening comments in this video that sound American to me, but I pick up a slight accent in some other places. I call it an "accent" when it comes through my American ears.

@@user-nk9gt3xq4c You're right! I am from the Netherlands and i speak Dutch. So that is why my english is a bit off sometimes:) But i try to speak it as fluently as possibe.

@@TheFlyingVin16 I'm certainly not criticizing your English. As I said, your opening words in this video sound like perfect English as spoken over here (USA). Other places where you speak English with a bit of a Dutch accent, that accent is very slight. I have long understood that most people in The Netherlands are bilingual (English and Dutch) but where the English is more like English as spoken in England, not quite as spoken in America. But you seem to have learned English as spoken here.

will check it out! thanks :)

If this young man is developing skills to build possible careers in flying and/ or developing inovations in the electronics industry, I don't see a problem. The piloting speaks for itself and this video is trulyprofessional grade. If he is spending all day playing computer games or roving through social media, that is another matter. It is hard for me to imagine a young man we see on these videos getting sidetracked with pointless hours on his computer.

agree It just seems to be a distracting trend with kids.

@@geeewiz2231 You are right about that. But the kids who get too involved with electronics are not so likely to have a major outside interest like pilot training.

It isn’t really a procedure unless there are people around the plane👍

@@TheFlyingVin16 - ok, but with some aircraft types (maybe not yours), there are blind spots at the front of the aircraft as viewed from the cockpit and there may be someone crouching down for example at the front of the aircraft which you may not be able to see. When I have flown with a couple of instructor friends of mine, they ALWAYS shout out ‘CLEAR PROP’ as a matter of habit really, whatever light GA aircraft they are flying that has propellers. Just my thoughts on it. As I said, it’s not a criticism, just an observation. Good luck with your future progress and hopefully career in the aviation world.

Leuk om te horen! Ik wens je veel succes met je opleiding :)

Im not sure but it definitely looks Nice!

you are absolutely right! i did 2 Touch & go's and thereafter the full-stop. :)

For this plane its 15 kts crosswind, not headwind. So for the crosswind component the max is 15kts

that is correct! thank you very much

with pedals that are on your foot

With the so called “rudder pedals”. To go right, you press the right pedal. But we also brake with the top of the pedals!

@@modoaviao655 I would suggest learning as much as possible now, while you're waiting to turn 18, through text books and training videos as well as spending time talking to pilots and other aviation enthusiasts about their experiences. This will give you a great idea of what to expect and some basic knowledge that you can use upon starting your formal training at age 18. Go for it! 😊

Helo I am Indian and you?

Around 2-3 months. I flew around 10 hours before my first solo flight.

@@GTU_latest_update_and_study i am Pakistan nice to meet u
