    Congrats!!! Brings back memories... my instructor just got out of the plane , mid runway!!! And said go!! It's all yours now!! Gulp! What a moment. Way back in 1970. :-)

      Lol ,same thing happened to me in 1977 . I had to do three landings because it was an uncontrolled airport so I couldn't do touch and go . This video takes me back.

      My dream was to become a pilot. But my dream broken after I knew I have slightly green color blindness.
      Now I'm a neurosurgeon but I still dream to be a pilot ... maybe my son in the future

      I’ve always wanted to be a pilot. I’m from southern Asia and I joined commerce stream in my 11th grade. I’m currently doing my bachelors degree in business administration. Here, students from commerce stream cannot go into aviation ( applications are rejected) but then we can at countries like USA. And I really want to pursue aviation but my height is only 5ft 1 inches and i’m worried maybe it’ll just be a waste of time and effort going somewhere else to study but then failing at the end just because of that. Any suggestions or information about these criterias? Or should I accept that this is never gonna happen to me?

    • @ks8452

      I remember mine also. That 152 cockpit got really big when my instructor stepped out and said "Your airplane..."

  • @RobertoRMOLA
    @RobertoRMOLA 5 років тому +34

    Watched your flight and tried to translate what was your feelings... Would they have been similar to mine 42 years ago? Was the swing of the airplane with the wind the same? What about the engine noise? Would the tinkling of the keychain of the magneto keys before takeoff have been as "disturbing" as it was to me? Would the tone of the other people on the radio have been as welcoming as it was for me? Interesting that I do not remember much of the details of the flight, after all, it was just ONE of many in my training, and everything was very normal and without scares. But those little things, hitherto unnoticed, seemed to come together to conspire or help, I do not know... Today, 14000 hours of flight later, sometimes with some inspiration and introspection, I have the same feelings again. Sometimes I tell this to the colleague on my side and I get back a smile from who knows perfectly what is this all about. You are the next generation Ivette. I am counting on your greatness and consideration to this great brotherhood to which you are a part now. Be happy!

    The keyboard Captains that gave this a “thumbs down” have two old issues of “Plane & Pilot”, a Cessna hat from eBay and are saving their allowance to get an old copy of Flight Simulator. By scoffing at someone who is actually accomplishing their dream, they feel they somehow raise their own meager importance. Go back to your X-Box supercilious trolls, just don’t get caught by mommy !

    So cool. It brings me back to my first solo. You're serious and professional and doing everything you trained for. The adrenaline exceeds the nervousness. You know in your head you're going to do it. Pulling out onto the runway there's no turning back now. Theres feelings like you're not ready, but your CFI believes in you, so you take his or her word. And it turns out great. Maybe not a perfect flight, prob made some mistakes but what an exhilarating experience. Congrats!

    Congratulations. Brought me back to my first solo in 1974 at John Wayne Airport in Southern California. We all lack some radio confidence in the beginning it will become second hand before long. Your instructor probably already said get the nose wheel up higher on touchdown otherwise it looks very good. Flying great isn't it ...still hasn't lost thrill for me after all these years.

I thought, "Well, I made the choice to take off, I've got no choice but to land..." Some of the best landings I ever made. Great job maintaining that center line and keeping the upwind on center line!

The empty seat at your right is a constant reminder of that :) Landings were the worst... as our instructor said " Landing is a controlled crash... so make sure you crash from no more than 10 cm off the ground " :). Congrats, is just that feeling when a baby bird leaves the nest to fly alone.

    What a cool video!!! I don't know anything about being a pilot, but Ivette looked like she was well trained and confident in her skills. Those were smooth landings, there was a small airport near where I used to live and I would see the student pilots bouncing when landing and rocking back and forth on the approach. I used to watch and was really impressed how someone would have the nerve to do that. The camera views were awesome! Great video and great job and confidence Ivette!!

    Give me a big smile. That is something to be really proud of. Take a big breath and grin. Congrats! I remember my day like it was yesterday. It is one of those few moments in your life that you will always keep above everything else.

    Congratulations, nice flight. You've had some luck landing, the nosewheel should not necessarily sit up first, that can go awry. Sorry for my english.
