Suddenly a lot more room in the cockpit, eh!

[HPSC]

Thanks guys!:ok:

Yes! alot lighter too! went up like a rocket :}

[Mike744]

Brilliant! Congratulations HPSC :D

[Pilot DAR]

Yes! alot lighter too! went up like a rocket

Don't worry about your instructor taking that as a reference to his/her weight - they're used to it by now!

Though the first is always the best! You will feel this feeling again to a lesser degree, when you start flying other types. You'll find youself with a lot more controls and instruments in the cockpit, and still an empty seat upon which to put your charts. Great feeling!

Congratulations!! Enjoy the feeling!! I remember it well, the 2nd solo will be even better!

Congratulations on a great achievement! Stick with it.. much more to come! :)

You are allowed to fly an aircraft all by yourself now, but you are still not old enough to drive a car by yourself. :}
Who makes these rules???

I still remember my first solo and it was a long time ago. :ok:

Very well done and don't feel bad about wanting to shout about it. You know how to find the pilot in a crowded room? He will tell you. :)

Sincere congrats! Your life will never be what it was "before". There's many hurdles and many great moments before you, but none greater than this one - or so it was to me, at least.

spreadeagle - You know how to find the pilot in a crowded room? He will tell you. http://images.ibsrv.net/ibsrv/res/src:www.pprune.org/get/images/smilies/smile.gif That is definately true!!:E

Fourbyfour - Indeed I will be seeing you around Tatenhill soon

Thank you everyone! It was nice to see all of these messages, put a smile on my face reading them!:)

Well done that man!

[Fuji Abound]

You will never forget it!

[riverrock83]

Well done! I can also remember it clearly - although since it was only a week ago for me - thats not too difficult :D
Aircraft is off for repair now for a couple of weeks though so it will be a while till second solo - wind was across the runway at the weekend :(

Hope you get up again soon!

Good luck with the rest of your training.


Feel proud of what you achieved today HPSC. You deserve a pat on the back. Not everyone can do it, now you just have to concentrate on doing it well.

I don't know about instructors taking the hump about thier weight though :D

Personally I used to brief to watch out "you will go up like a fart in the bath once my belly is off loaded"

Top news though another one in the sky :D
