Elstree Helicopters Student Danny First Solo in Robinson R44 HERZ with voice over from Capt White
Congratulations student Danny on your FIRST SOLO 🎉 With previous gliding experience it took a little while for a good solid hover to come but practise, practise, practise paid off and Danny was soon taking HERZ nicely into a well controlled hover.
Like a few students recently Danny has been waiting for some settled weather for his next big step and last week the rain finally left a suitable gap. A few circuits and some lift and land revision before it was time for Danny to go it alone… A nervous wait for Capt White’s signature arms and clearance from the tower and away! A super lift into the hover followed by a textbook circuit.
“After finally mastering the hover, which was a lot harder than I’d expected, the next major milestone was my first solo. With the air law exam out of the way, the unseasonal weather seemed to have other ideas, instead doing the DVE, UIMC and lost practices! At last, the wind dropped, the sun came out and I spent the morning fine tuning my landings. When the moment came and Paul got out of the heli, I was actually quite relieved - I knew I would get round the circuit without the engine or hydraulics mysteriously failing! An amazing day, never to forget, and with some great photos to remember it with.” - Danny Luhde-Thompson
“A really nice solo, Danny took everything he had learnt so far and aced it, a proud instructor moment.” - Capt White
Well done Danny on reaching this incredible milestone, we’re excited to see you progress now to the next chapter of your flying journey… local area and land aways!

Nice solo flight good luck in your helicopter flights
Congratulations Beth, I envy you so much, the 1st solo must be so scary but also so exciting. 👍
Well done to Beth
I got goosebumps watching this
congratulations!! greetings from Belgium
CRONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Superb flying Beth, take care and kind regards Mark from Billericay 👍😀🌞🌞🇬🇧🇬🇧
I see yout video during the class of Aeronautics of Helicopters at university. We were studying about the hover flight. Very nice video. Greetings from Brazil.
Very nicely done, and well filmed.
Too slow on the alarm, but good….
Amazing to see the Feeling from First Solo Flight.
i love how Bath owned the clock. She took whatever time she thought she needed as she ran through the checklist. Well done Paul and Beth.
Es la mejor manera de disfrutar un helicóptero,,con suvidad y sutileza...aplausos..
21:30 - 23:00 is the good stuff!
wünche der FRAU Viele guhte Flugstunden hat bestimt gerade die Peüfug bestanden viel Ervolg
Great job Beth, beautifully flown !! Well done girl ! xx
Well done. Brilliant
Excellent video and a nice smooth flight. I'd shoot the pen holder on the kneeboard and look for a different design though! It didn't look to easy to locate the pencil.
well done Beth, can these planes fly in a thunderstorm or are they restricted, ? look forward to more videos
Did he inform her that hearing the igniters is a good sign? If a student needs an instructor monitoring an engine start they shouldn't be flying solo.
Did you consider that perhaps she already knew that?
The igniters had a weird blip the day before - knowledge is power
There’s something very special about a woman flying a chopper. I think that makes me a misogynist. I’m 70 so that’s my only excuse.
Be good to hear ATC as well
Good on you Girl 🙏😀
Very nicely done Beth. @paul I remember bumping into you at Duxford around Christmas time some years ago
Wich helicopter?
It's in the title.
Bell 206
Good for you sweetheart! It was always my lifetime dream to fly choppers! Too expensive now, even here in Florida where I live now! Although I believe it’s still way cheaper than ripoff uk 🇬🇧??
Congratulations
Missing the ATC transmissions.....!!
headset not micced
Great video until the music. Yeah I know it's not my video but I like the helicopter sounds, maybe some ATC but no music.
Unfortunately the Jet Ranger sound on fast forward is dreadful so has to be muted. You can't hear ATC as headset not micced up and you can't hear via go pro over the noise of the heli.
çok güzel helikopter 👍👍
Beth you got this one cross country done
Save the Rotor Brakes and Great job flying
It was great to see this, well done, I was envious, many times wanted to do a heli ppl.
congratulations!
Beth needs to look out more, when manoeuvring around the Airfield she didn't check her R/H area before lift or hover taxi ,where it seems a lot of fixed wing aircraft are taxying. I know how busy Elstree can get as I flew from Stapleford for many years and the area is very busy with transit aircraft and the London Heathrow TMA above
BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH
I know that feeling of nervous excitement, when you get to fly solo for the first time, and the complete feeling of ecstasy and achievement, when you have completed the mission without any hiccups. I had butterflies for this lady all over again. It was wonderful. Thank you for sharing.
Bravo Beth! That was very enjoyable and professional - congratulations on your cross country, you will pass with "flying" colours!
would of been to hear you chatting with the ATC.
headsets aren't micced up
That Gyro sounds makes me want to run away
Greetings from Toronto Canada, Beautifully done ,would be nice to have heard you chatting with ATC . Maybe the next video ,cheers and be safe .
That sound of the engine absolute awesome 👌🏻👌🏻
Congratulations Beth! I can only imagine how daunting the prospect of being totally in control of an entire cross country flight is. You have an excellent, methodical and calm approach though so it was probably as easy as you made it look. The beautiful JetRanger is an aircraft I have had a love affair with since I was 7 and although I am unlikely to ever achieve what you have, I have been lucky enough to fly one. Needless to say, if you ever need a passenger... look me up 😂
Congratulations Beth, I wish you the best of luck in this profession. Regards from Brazil.
Having just done this flight quite recently as part of my fixed wing PPL at FTL, was fun to see it from a helicopter perspective! Brilliant stuff. PPL(H) in a turbine is awesome, what a treat.

Excellent, you look full of confidence. Happy flying.

You are one lucky girl
