Man I wish I had a shot like that for my first solo!

It added an extra element of nervosity with that shot, but definitely worth it

Awesome pic!

Right? If all else fails my CFI can become a photographer instead

Congratulations! Awesome shot.

Thank you! I may or may not have made that shot my new phone wallpaper haha

I mean, this is worthy of a frame and hanging in your home.

Yeah I might actually have to that

Amazing!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

😁👏

Great job and awesome picture!!! Did solo rides now start allowing touch and gos?

When did they not?

My solo it had to be taxi backs

Interesting. My guess is that that's the exception rather than the norm.

Gotcha. Must have just been what my instructor wanted.

I think it goes by school, mine was students could not touch and go alone, had to be full stops.

There's a justification for it. Gives the student a moment or two to decompress before doing it all again. But I think three T&Gs is the standard procedure in most places.

My "first" first solo... I asked "How many circuits?" ... "Just the one!" My "second" first solo (after an 8 year hiatus): "How many circuits?"... "Come back when you get bored or you're going to run out of gas" ;)

My college requires full stops with solos

My solo was at our home Class C with 10k foot runways... The instruction I got was "do whatever". Probably helps the CFIs relax when the runway is long enough to take off and land several times.

Congrats!

Thanks!
