Going solo

The 1st Solo is exercise 14.

There are 19 altogether and each is subdivided into parts. Commonly a student will solo after 10 to 14 hours, some much less. That is with less than a quarter of the course completed!

The pressure, maybe, too much and too many therefore give up to avoid the event, others become frustrated and demoralised from a feeling of failure, should they then fall behind the norm of their peers.

I have trained a number of student PPL's who couldn't go solo as normal owing to medical delays and for other reasons and, I have to say, without any loss in the eventual outcome.

What is your response to; solo requirements to be only undertaken on the completion of all of the dual requirements within the syllabus having been completed, including exams?
