First solo - log book entry

[Morris Oxford]

What is the correct log book entry in the holder's operating capacity column for student pilots first solo (Ex17a of the BMAA NPPL(M) syllabus?)

P.1 or P.1/S ?

My CFI instructed me to enter P.1/S after I completed my first solo on Sunday, but I think this should be P.1; isn't P.1/S only for a skills test when the examiner/instructor is sat next to the "student"?

I was grinning so much when I filled out my log that I didn't have the presence of mind to query the entry at that time.
This will also apply to future pre-GFT solos, won't it?

(If this is a F.A.Q. could some one please point me at the previous thread?)

Thanks

If you're the only pilot in the aircraft, you're by definition the pilot in command. P.1 in other words.

Are you sure your hearing wasn't a bit distorted due to the grin from ear to ear?:)

Ps: Congratulations on the first solo!

You weren't being supervised in the aircraft - it's P1.

I vote for P1
On other matter students have been questioning what if they go above the 10 solo for the issue of the JAA/PPL. They seem to be very miss informed, P1 time in you logbook is good for you and will count torward insurance requirements ETC when you go on and fly a more complex type.
Well done on your first solo!

Morris,

Just wanted to say congratulations on your first solo, I remember mine like it was yesterday. Great feeling while you are bricking it around the circuit to pull off a nice greaser.

Welcome to the world of pilots and enjoy your flying.

All the best.

Well done Morris.

You are correct, it should be logged as P1, not P1.S.
Tell your FI to go and read LASORS.

Thank you PPRuNers.
P1 it is then.
