Top tip that might save your life one day... if you’ve got something wrong with the aircraft like that warning light and you make it back to land as you did, stop and check out the problem while you’re safe, rather than going around!
I had that same warning in a CTLS.The flying club replaced the fuel pump and the fuel pressure regulator , then all was well.The airport mechanic told me even if you lose the fuel pump the fuel tanks will still gravity feed fuel to the engine,you just wont have full power.
Congrats! Isn't that a great feeling? I spent much of my solo-time in-pattern, learning how to land that plane smoothly, esp. in crosswinds...and that warning light/buzzer does grab your attention (see comment below); first thing I did was check oil pressure/temp (normal), then EGT, CHT...engine RPM seemed a bit low to me on climb-out, but was told this was normal, as that particular prop was pitched for climb, whereas the other CT the school had was pitched for cruise. As stated below, I continued in-pattern, monitoring things closely (and watching for traffic--busier airport than where you are, it looks like), then calling, on final, "precautionary full-stop landing; engine indication". Same issue as your plane; momentary low fuel pressure at T/O power setting. And that electronic voice--useful, but occasionally, w/ the PCAS system, I'd hear "TRAFFIC...not available"??? or it'd pick up a semi on the freeway below.
It was exciting to watch you solo for the first time. I haven't gotten the chance yet(there is no longer a LSA within 100 miles of me...makes instruction a bit difficult). I had 6,5 hours in and my CFII said I was ready to solo, but winter came, and the plane went bye bye) I found it interesting you had two more flap settings and you only used 15 degrees for landing. Is that normal for the plane, or did your instructor tell you that way? I flew a Cessna Skycatcher and I used all three settings. No worries about winter where you live!
Wow 100 miles no kidding that makes it hard, I'm sorry to hear that. In the CTLS the second flap setting of 30 deg is extremely aggressive and only use it on a few occasions. Most days 15 was a very comfortable flap setting to fly with.
Yep; I used 15 degrees for almost all T/Os and landings, but used 35 degrees when practicing "short field". Since we have a 5000' RWY where I trained, we also practiced T/Os and landings at 0 degrees, esp. w/ strong x-winds.
I love things that scare me the feeling you get I thrive off of. Don't worry your instructor isn't going to let you solo if they feel you are not completely ready. You are going to do great and taking your first solo flight is the coolest thing ever.
I don't normally blow it off but in the avoidance system at this airport P04, it goes off eternally in the traffic pattern due to the mountains surrounding the airport. At night I find it very helpful though.
Well done. I own a CTLSi. Don’t have the carb issues with fuel injection. And very efficient.

I flew that exact plane.. from that exact airport.. with that exact... CFI.... hmmmm #excellent
Счастливый человек! Супер!
I was waiting for 'pull up damn it' 😂
beautiful plane...had the pleasure of learning in it when it was in Florida
An incredible plane would love to own one at some point for sure!
Congrats bud!
congrats!!🎉🎉🎉

I'm suffering right now. I got signed off to solo but can't do it because the planes down for engine repair. It's been over 2 months.
恭喜
Nice
Where is your flying journey now? Did you get your private?

I can’t believe you went around with fuel or oil warning!
were you nervous? I'm kind of scared to solo haha

@@Jasons_cooking thanks for the encouragement. I just got this weird idea that I would be so amped up and nervous I wouldn't perform as well.
Terrain avoidance might save your life some day. If you get in the habit of blowing it off now, you'll pay later.
