I was sent solo on my trial flight before I started the PPL course.
It was all a mistake really. I was really surprised when the instructor said " right then off you go".
Microsoft flight sim was a Godsend and somehow I made it to a near perfect landing.
The CFI must have had a bad dose of food poisoning as he was waiting to greet me looking as green as green can be.
Later found out that they had sent the first solo on the trial flight and me on the first solo. He looked a bit like me! Leather Jacket and RayBans!
They never charged me for the trial flight probably because I didnt have an instructor with me but hey ho
Can someone tell me? is that a record? or do people who land aeroplanes after the pilot drops dead at the controls count as first solos?
Maybe they are classified as P1S as they were talked down by ATC? So I must be the record holder for earliest first solo?
You will be ready when you are ready and the weather is ready so dont fret!
