    She is a well trained pilot. Great radio work and checklists. Smooth control. Center of runway landings in the zone. Even leaned to taxi. Can't get better than that. Congrats, Bella.

    Congratulations!!! Great job Bella, beautiful flying. Brings back memories of my solo back in 1975. A 150 and no headphones, pavement for about 100 feet on both ends of the runway and caliche in between. Bird's Nest Airport Manor TX. Dual was $21/hr wet, solo was $13.

    I have seen a lot of these first solo videos, and most seem to be more interested in making a video for YT rather than being the PIC of a SEP. This video is much better, more like a fly on the wall rather than the drama queens and kings I have seen.
    Well done you handled that very professionally, I would have you fly me around any day.

    Congratulations! It's so funny watching this, as she simultaneously expresses her nervousness and excitement and gives herself a reassuring, "I got this" during taxi, as I pretty much did the exact same thing on my first solo. I guess we all do. Very nice first solo! Landing was much better than mine!

  • @chuckewe

    “This is good!” I love it. The self-talk, awesome when you’re alone and it’ll bode you well if you ever fly dual pilot/commercial. It’s always helped me reassure/confirm/remember things! And man, you greeeeeeeased those landings. So sweet!

    So very Cool. Congrats Bella!!! Still hoping to take this first solo one day... I do have a question though. Most videos of people flying the pattern they call each turn. Thinking about it maybe that is just uncontrolled airspace that they do that. I have watched quite a few things, trying to learn, and This was the first time I noticed someone not calling out each turn.... Thanks! And again Congrats Bella!

      @ADVJason Рік тому

      @@D.c.0 I figured it was different but still only have seen people calling traffic and calling each turn in videos. Probably more habit than anything, maybe. I'm learning and the radio stuff is something that I have always worried about. So when I get to start real training I'm hoping to have some knowledge anyway. Plus flight sims don't do the radio stuff great and for now that is all the flying I am doing. lol..thanks for the reply

    You would think that whoever set up the camera would notice that the right-side seat belt is blocking the view of the runway. While the seatbelt can be moved, some planes like
    the Cessna Citation, Piper Cherokee, and DHC-6 Twin Otter have a large central support going down the center of the windshield. Moving this is not as easy.
