    A piece of advice from a pilot: try to speak slowly when you transmit messages on the frequencies. You speak too quickly, and this can cause serious safety issues during your flights. Learn to articulate your messages clearly. Speaking too fast does not mean you are a professional, as others may have difficulty understanding the information. This will help avoid any collisions

One who will demonstrate each airborne manoeuvre and give you ample time to practice the same manoeuvre. Avoid instructors who provide too much information in the air.

    The POH was so thin.
    Controlls free & correct, instruments set & checked, gas on, air trim set, run up 1700 rpm check carb heat rpm drop then mag check and back to idol power, safety lights doors brakes etc. Cessna 7548v departing runway 35 for closed traffic at Aurora State.

    I did the exact same thing when I was 19 years old in a plane very similar! It is quite sobering when your instructor tells you to take the plane up by yourself and j do three touch and it goes. As you’re rolling down the runway, you’re wondering if you truly know how to fly the plane without your instructor sitting next to you, but he or she has trained you well, and would not have given you the greenlight to solo if they did not feel you were ready.

Good methods, practices, focus on all key checklist items at each stage of flight is an essential piloting discipline. Thinking ahead and preparing mentally and calmly for any eventuality and having.a plan to deal with such situation is to be well prepared. The Golden Order of piloting, Aviate, Navigate and Communicate in that order. Also your call out actions is good practice for later multi-crew operations in CRM operations.

    i used to not be so interested in small planes like cessnas. But now you made me think about all the pilots learning how to fly an aircraft
    You started at a very young age. The was you were so happy when you landed made me smile. Good luck to you on your aviation journey
    Hopefully i will be like you one day

    I’m in Australia. Greetings. I learnt to fly at Royal Victorian Aero Club Moorabbin Victoria… The aircraft we used was the trusty and easy to fly Piper Warrior II. She has a nine ground effect on the flair while landing. High wings don’t have that!

    Brilliant, absolutely nailed it 👏👏 CONGRATULATIONS..
    Everything was good, your approach was lovely and on the centre line, great landing.. wish you had recorded to your Full Stop, like to have seen your reactions after you had completed your task and switched off the engine..
    You totally reminded me and my first solo when i was your age too, so much going on, you looked confident and really enjoying it, I felt your excitement and achievement, and it is a BIG achievement 👍👌👏
    Well done 💯
    I see many people saying rich kid, rich parents etc, so what, those people sadly are probably jealous, but you have the opportunity to embrace it and it's what you like doing and why not..
    Good luck to you in your aviation endeavours, and try not to become too complacent, keep to your check lists, and stay safe..
