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!

      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.

    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

    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 😂
