Congratulations



Well done. I wish I could do it (them) all again, 1st solo fixed wing 6.5 hrs June 1982, 1st solo glider August 1989 and 1st solo helicopter 6.1 hrs August 1991

Enjoy the moment and savour it It is a special moment and after 8000 hours I can only say that if I could turn the clock back and repeat anything that I have previously done in my career it would be my first solos!

Nothing can beat that memory of sitting there, on my own, touching the empty seat beside me and smiling from ear to ear, then savouring the first landing when you return to earth, marvelous

And then to follow it with your first solo start, taxiing out feeling rather proud of ones self and opening the throttle, lifting off and realising that this is what it is all about

To all of you about to solo, keep your heads, enjoy the days and fly safe
