Student Pilot First Solo | Will Nerves Stop Her? 🤔

There have been a LOT of student pilot first solos at Sling Pilot Academy and we are thrilled that Roz asked to be filmed during hers! She does a few laps in the pattern with her instructor, Mike, and then Roz takes to the sky alone for the first time. Watch her complete three laps in the pattern above KTOA before celebrating her success 🎉

Every single time I watch a first solo video, it brings a smile to my face. ( I’ve been there and done that. )
Congrats Roz! Well done.

always love hearing "student" or "first solo" when I'm at a delta.

Excellent -- the flying and the radio work. You're well on your way towards your certificates.

Congrats to Roz! Her flying skill and ATC communication shows a well trained student!! I wish I had the money to be trained at this Flying School.

I earned my PPL at Torrance in the summer of 1975. Fond memories.

[@SlingPilotAcademy]

It's a great place to fly, near the ocean and not far from the mountains. It's a beautiful view up there!

[@dayson8470]

Probably passed her checkride by now, congrats

[@daxflame163]

Congratulations! 🎉

[@osmium2937]

Three perfect circuits, Congrats on your first solo, very well done.

[@SlingPilotAcademy]

She nailed those circuits 😎

[@EdwardHefter]

Great job briefing what to do in case of engine out at different altitudes. A tip on checking the fuel, especially with the white planes. Look at the fuel with the plane behind it so you can easily see the difference between blue fuel and any clear water.
Your first solo landing was so much better than even my 10th solo landing, and the other two were great, too. Nice job!

[@SlingPilotAcademy]

Great tip Edward, thank you!! 😎🤙

[@chriscagle1]

Nice!! Congrats 😊

[@mahmoodQureshikohatiPakistan]

Yes it is good

[@jetflyresq]

Cool video 👍👏

[@SlingPilotAcademy]

Thanks so much!

[@user-ru8mu2le9d]

Great job posting a video on student pilot solo not even a week after one of your plane crash with serious injury.

[@anotherday2084]

wait what happened

[@ScottsSynthStuff]

Do those planes always land so flat, or are you teaching them to land that way?

[@doehri]

So what are the cost for this pilot license in the USA

[@davidross1332]

Average $80K all the way to $160K all the way from 0 to commercial pilot. PPL is around $15K - $20K

[@JulienGordon]

Is that a czech sport she's flying?

[@SlingPilotAcademy]

It's a Sling!

[@fat_boy647]

FAA verified and regulated...?

[@user-bs6he4mr4v]

No wind corrections, she was not ready for solo ....

[@craigclarke4736]

Of course she was. Now, go on your way.
