Nice job! I remember my first solo at ISP on Long Island, NY. It shocked me how quickly that old C-150 jumped off the rwy without my instructor on board. Congrats!
Before you cross the threshold, eyes at your aiming point (a couple runway centerline markings before the 1000 footers is acceptable typically). Smoothly bring power out once you have the runway made (basically when you are just crossing the threshold). Once u cross the threshold, eyes all the way down the far end of the runway. That will help with flaring too high. As well. Get that centerline. Keep it between your legs. Kick a little bit of rudder to align the nose with centerline and and a little aileron into the wind to keep the centerline.
@@maurygottlieb4771 use your resources wisely, if you can't understand the mechanics of flight, don't fly. A 7000ft runway is fine to "float" in a 172, but what I said was flair as in flair till you bleed the speed off.
I'm confused. What are the switches she toggles while still on the runway? Why not do this when clear of the runway? I was taught you're still "flying" until you're stopped clear of the runway.
Flaps up and lights, you can do this in simple aircraft like this its fine as long as you don't feel overloaded. Its also fine to wait till the apron. Its all about comfort and workload.

Beautiful job!
Awesome - Congrats!
Sensacional.
How many hours does she have?
Like everyone else...24 per day.
@@romeowhiskey1146 TayTay gets 30 or 16 or so hours per day, depending on the direction of travel.

Center line! Don't brainfreeze on the landing you can flair as long as you'd like on that long runway, keep eyes at the end.
Nope, if you float on a long runway, you will float on a short runway.

Respectfully disagree, do the after landing flow and checklist after the runway is cleared.
@@maurygottlieb4771 I agree with you. Teach the proper way for when the pilot won’t be in a simple aircraft.
Lucky it was a wide runway. Next time land in the middle.

Could have done without the lame music!
