1st Solo tips?

[BigMike]

Well done. It is a big moment which you will always remember. Good luck with the rest of your flying.

Cheers BigMike

Congratulations. It only takes about 2 years to come off the cloud you are on today. But don't think you now know how to fly! You always are learning.

I'm surprised they don't adapt students to the weight difference by strapping in half the bloater's weight in ballast. Or are FTOs *that* desperate for the fuel savings?!

Well done JAFO, its almost a year since my first solo and my face is still split from ear to ear, just got my ppl(h) and it just gets better and better.
The stick is in a different place (forward and left) and the little bugger does not want to come down does it!!...I was down to 15 inches manifold on my final approach and even then I had thoughts of a go around coming at me.
Keep it up...you will never have any regrets.

Thanks guys.

And dont worry g0lfer, I dont think I do, like one of my instructors told me after he congratulated me, now all you have to do is learn how to fly

I can't wait to do more solo flights, besides the confidence boost, it really makes you watch everything more closely.

If you f**k it up, its all your fault

I always feel that I have flown better when flying solo 'cos I don't have that source of noise in my left ear!

You just seem to have more time to do things but if you have too much time, you're probably not doing it right. Enjoy.

Don't wear brown shoes with a blue suit...

Not to be ungrateful to the other posters, but thats probably the best advice Ive ever gotten

The most important thing to remember before going solo is to make sure there is no-one else in the a/c

I bet you $5...you will end up singing somewhere in the cct!
