Solo days are so exciting for both students and instructors alike. The whole day is a culmination of hard work and dedication to being the best you can be so you can kick your instructor out of the aircraft and finally feel what it's like to fly an aeroplane on your own. What a day!
Massive congratulations to Ella!

What a day! It doesn't get much better than this. The only way it could be any better is if you had a LewDix Aviation checklist - the BEST checklist I've ever created. Get yours here: lewdixaviation.com

What a great day, relaxing and watching the thunderstorms roll through. How could it get any better? Well,l I orderd a LewDixAviation Cessna 172 Checklist! Haven't flown for 25 years, but Lewis has inspired me, and I'm going for my AGI and PPL! Thanks for making a great day even better.

The go-around was "EPIC"! There may have been an audible "YES", on every greaser. ;) Lewis: 1st, Uhhhhh... "I like to get up early for, for solos..." yeah....LIAR! We all know you hate getting up early. lol 2nd, The reaction and the feeling you showed of Ella's piloting skills is what makes me want to be a CFI. I've been waiting months for this very video.

And I must admit that I was neither as sophisticated nor as good with my first solo. But that was over 30 years ago and I had no motor in my glider… I want to pretend that the lack of go around possibilities makes you a bit more scared. 😅😅🙈🙈

@RockyTopAviator 2 месяца назад

Love seeing this, I wish my first solo was as smooth; having it at a towered airport probably would have helped; I could tell she was being rushed with the traffic behind her though, adding variables like that for a newer pilot can be challenging, she made the right call on the go around though! Great work for a great team!

@geekmug 2 месяца назад

Ella is such a cool customer! I'm surprised that the tower tried to run a squeeze play with a student pilot, but even though Ella didn't stick it, she did a good job of staying in command. I have two tips to give from my own experience. 1) Don't try to climb with full flaps even in a go-around. On a good day, a C172 can produce more thrust than the drag of full flaps, but only on a good day. You don't want to exit ground effect until you have started to clean up. 2) Whenever you are moving the flaps, add a glance at your flaps to your scan to verify they moved to the position, because the flap cable can fail and you'll want to know. Especially during a touch-and-go, look over your shoulder to verify flaps 0 before departing the ground.
