Our Egyptian girl, how proud I am of her. I saw many Egyptian female pilots today and this really encouraged me. I wish her success and progress. I think she will be a great pilot in the future . 🥺♥️🇪🇬🇪🇬
inshallah you will be a flying girl one day :)
I thought she's white, and i was like "wow, another mualaf sister."
back home in egypt, her ceiling would be sitting at home raising kids..
@@DunyaLideri-lj3ly Not really. Egypt is not Afghanistan. Most muslim countries have no problem with women having profession.
@@DunyaLideri-lj3ly and what would be wrong with that? you know, somebody has to raise smart kids so they can achieve all that. Spending time with children is the best investment that can be done on the surface of this world. And you should be ashamed of yourself for thinking so low of the most important job that will ever exist.
"The plane feels so much lighter". Haha Congratulations! I remember my first solo well. I was singing "I'm flying the plane by myself". lol Now I'm a Captain at Southwest Airlines and still having a blast. PS...I still talk out loud to myself in certain circumstances. It helps. Congrats once again. Welcome to the friendly skies. :)
I thought she was gonna say something like "It is much lighter without you, Ibrahim".
I want to be a commercial airplane ✈️ pilot badly😂 can I be while I am 35 years old and where I can start? I am in Virginia state
@@raqad4642 I would start out with finding a local flight school. Start out with a discovery flight and see how you match with the instructor. Instructor selection is very important. Then start taking your lessons. Many schools used to have an agreement to hire you as an instructor at the school if you do all of your training with them. Fly 2-3 times a week if possible. It’s saves you money as you don’t spend a lot of time relearning things you may have forgotten. Good luck in your endeavors. 35 is not too old to start. If you get hired by the time you’re 40, you’ll have 25 years until retirement! Now get out there and start flying! You won’t regret it.😎👍
My first solo. I took off and I was like… I never heard those noises before, lol
Hi
I have no idea who you are or anything, but I am very proud of you. I just found your name. Roula, keep up the great work, you are making a difference for everyone in the world.
Shout to the great staff that prepared her to be successful. Great instructors produce great students. Congrats to Roula for overcoming her feats and showing everyone the professional that she is. Nice work!
Thanks for the kind words Ed 🛩
I couldn't agree any better. Sling Pilot Academy is definitely the place to go for piloting training!
She training to crash planes into US buildings in the name of Isla?
I love the way she talks to herself. I do the same thing in stressful situations and it really helps. Great job!
Pilots are taught to do this. It reinforces the checklist mentality that keeps people alive. You'd be surprised what you skip when you only say it in your head.
Good point. I've been flying for a long time and I still sometimes say (out loud) to pitch for airspeed
and power for altitude when I'm on final approach. Not only is it important to know, it's also important
to be reinforced.
@@doug1320 I added "landing checks complete" on final approach. That forces me to double check everything on the way down, and configure if I forgot something like lights.
aren't they supposed to do this always? Stop being impressed by everything.
@@troy.u3297 Sucks to be you
I’m an Egyptian designer but I stumbled across this video and I’m impressed and really proud😍❤️❤️the prayers “InshAllah” “bism Allah” ❤️
That's amazing! Roula was also in our Women's History Month video from last Saturday if you're interested in watching more 🛩
@@SlingPilotAcademy q
So proud of our sister , great job to the academy as well 🎉🎉
Oh, you think it is a miracle? Lol
So proud of her.
The guys on the ground looks more nervous than Roula does😄
Soft beautiful landing! I'll show my daughter this for inspiration, she really loves flying.
The first time driving a car alone is scary, I can only imagine how this feels
Great. We need more female pilots in the air for so many reasons, but not least because women are really great communicators and communication is so important when piloting a plane. 🙏🏼
Damn my heart was pounding like she were my daughter. Great job, very inspiring Roula!
Why she dressed like a ninja
@@user-cr6rg6nl7jget educated 😢 youre embarrassing yourself. It’s called a hijab
@@user-cr6rg6nl7j It's called a Hijab and Muslim women wear it
@@user-cr6rg6nl7j it’s her religion, She dressed like the mother of Jesus Peace be upon him.
And you likely don’t even have the courage to even say that to her in front of her since your life is based on hating Islam.
She did wonderful. It's always exciting to see a newly trained person flying solo for the first time.
I was nervous to look at the comments. I am pleased that the professionalism of fellow aviators was maintained. This was a great video to watch!
Ma,sha,Allah,
I used to be a flight instructor myself, she did a great job.
Happy Landing Always. 🛩️
Thank you! Alhamdulilah and إن شاءلله
Well done. You was cool. Your instructors were great.
@@Flyingloola Roula 👍
as a woman, this is so inspiring to see. also can we take a moment to thank the men on ground? they were so supportive. she looked so confident with that needed support 🤍
We are glad to see Roula inspiring other women!! Thanks for your kind words ❤🛩
Congratulations on your first SOLO! The journey of continuous learning has started.
why is it that of a female does something so ordinary that has been done by men for centuries it becomes such a big deal? Lets treat everyone as equal not make a BIG DEAL when a female flies a plane
It’s a celebration of progress and it would encourage more women to get into the industry when they see more role models. Not everything is so serious! I’ve seen your comments all over the video it seems like you are looking for a reason to be mad at the world.
@@hessamstar i want fairness-not putting other people on a pedestal for no reason.Hope you know what that word means
@@KingoftheRoad-2023 bro, both men and women have the opportunity to do this, isnt this fairness already? what is wrong with you woke feminist people just enjoy the moment without being angry at everything
That is a very good point. After I got my private pilot's license, the examiner said to me
that this is my license to learn. That's so true because 30 years later I'm still
flying and learning. It's just that I'm flying a much faster airplane!
Congratulations to your first solo! You an inspiration to all young women out there no matter what race or religion despite your Islamic coverings everyone in this team trusted you and that you capable. May Allah swt keep you safe dear sister on the sky or on land...Ameen. ❤
Allahuma amiin
This couldn't happen if she were in her native muslim country.🤣🤣🤣.
@@thetravebug idiot. There are muslim female pilots in Dubai, Egypt and Morocco
@@thetravebug why are you trying to ruin a positive comment?
@@thetravebugit definitely could. We have female jet fighter pilots in our country. How many female pilots are in your armed forces?
Masha'Allah sister! I am very impressed with your confidence and your remembering of Allah and conduction yourself in a respectable and professional manner.
So much fun watching her solo! I remember my first solo in a 1959 Cessna 172 in 1964. A high five to the instructor.
My first solo student as a Flight Instructor crashed a Piper Colt after I got out, removing 225 lbs from the aircraft and reminding her what changes she would notice with only her in the plane; she landed 50 feet short of the runway and flipped the aircraft over on its back. Zero wind day early morning, no thermals, sun to her back, and had 15 hours in her log book and performed 4 perfect landings before I let her go. Her skills were good; she was rested and emotionally ready. The field was a grass strip 3,000 feet long with no trees or wires. She was 20 years old, mature, not injured, and had crawled out of the plane by the time I had run to help. I still wonder what I missed or could have done to make her more ready? The handheld radio for the instruction on the ground would have been helpful.
Some things get better, and some things get worse. There are way too many accidents caused by pilot errors. In general, women seem safer due to not taking chances, whereas Alpha men are more confident and take more risks. Their first year of flying may be the safest after they get their license. I have seen IFR Flight Instructors with a student teaching in IFR conditions, and after they landed, I spotted all the static vents plugged up with wax when the plane had been washed and waxed. Bad preflight can kill you. A flight aways begins before you leave home, even two or three days before you must ensure you are physically and mentally ready to fly.
This was very helpful thank you for sharing💕 do you have any advice for an 18 year old aspiring pilot??
Masha’Allah. This was very inspirational. Congrats.
Sad she won’t be able to work as a pilot in many Islamic countries.
@@N1ka False.
@@N1ka Muslim women are queens that have real men that support them. They never need to work. We’ll leave that for your backwards people.
@@TefaUK no it’s not 😂
@@vince11harris Yes it is false, and don't mention Iran because Iran is not an islamic country anyway, every other country you can mention allows it as of today, hello? I am arab I know what I am talking about, our neighbour works on an airplane, hello? stop misleading or watching the BBC, you haven't probably been outside of your city, thank you.
Loved it. She's smart, well-taught and very relatable. Very well-done video too.
Not only that, she's wholesome and a breath of fresh air for some of us older
people who think that the youth might be spending too much time on social
media when she's out there flying airplanes!
MashaAllah! Good job sister 👍 Congratulations on your first solo flight, 🛫, best wishes from Pakistan 🇵🇰
I’m 17 right now, just completed highschool and I’m looking at career options.Piloting really stood out for me but I just needed a little reaffirmation and this video really helped give me the push I needed! ❤
Incredible! Let us know if you join a flight training program, we'd love to hear how it goes! Have you done a discovery flight yet?
The baby bird leaves the nest, so beautiful. Imagine how much flight training nature embedds into baby birds to just drop and start flying..
Congratulations Roula. You did a great job. What smooth landings MashAllah. The first solo flight is so important to motivate you for the upcoming flights. I still remember my first solo and how stressful it was but Alhumdulillah it was good. Keep going and I hope the best for you.
Not only a natural pilot, but also a beautiful pilot. Well done Roula and well done to her excellent instructors!

Mashallah Roula!! Congrats. That was an awesome Solo! Your school and staff are super friendly. They did a great job. Hope more Muslim women are inspired to take up flying!! 👍👍😊
We are happy to see Roula inspiring so many people already 😎
Congratulations Roula! My first solo was 38 years ago, but I remember every second of it to this day. All the best with your aviation career.
(Right hand pattern too - I always found those tougher than left hand circuits.)
So proud of you seriously...You are an inspiration to all daughters out there...Keep it up!
Even though my first solo was over 3 decades ago.
I can still remembered that it wasn’t this relaxing.
You look so relax and energetic Roula. Great job!
All the best for your career.
Welcome to the skies ; )
Alhamdulillah.. well done sis.. 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Congratulations to Roula! She did well! Going solo is a day you'll never forget! Happy landings!
As a commercial pilot, this gal was the BEST !
We agree! What are you flying these days?
As an electrician, I agree.....
As an inspiring Pilot she did GREATT👏🏾🥳
An Muslim brother from Italy. Bravissima e continua cosi , non mollare mai! Bravaa!
Well done Roula! It reminded me of my first solo from Oakland Airport some 35 years ago. My heart was beating much faster while watching this video...
First solo is a great milestone. I was so ready for mine right up until the moment my instructor stepped out, then questioned every decision I made to arrive at that point. Massive relief when it was all over.
Congratulations!
It's a HUGE accomplishment that comes with a lot of stress & doubt. But totally worth it - we agree!
Congratulations Roula. Never forget my first 3 solo landings, 2 touch and go and 3rd full stop. I remember I was shaking until I parked the plane and performed the final check shutting down the engine. Several people stopped by to congratulate me during debriefing.
Well done, Roula. Great flight, and a great experience that you will never forget. I did my first solo 22 years ago and still watch my instructor's video taken with my camera.
Congratulations sister! This is an inspiration to so many young men and women.
Roula, Awesome job, congrats on the solo, you nailed it, love your personality!!! your hard work has paid off. !!!!!!
Great job well done in her first solo flight. Must say the academy holds a collection of experts captains and thanks to them all for giving back their knowledge and experiences to the society.
Wilson From Nigeria. This is one of my passion.
This is great. Congrats to Roula and the instructors.
I remember my first solo. Without the additional weight of my instructor, I was shocked by how the aircraft "popped" up into the sky. It caught me unawares, totally. The freaky part was that my instructor didn't tell me I would be soloing. After some circuits, we taxiied to close to the parking area and he literally just jumped out, buckled the passenger harness and yelled "Good Luck!"
Of course, I talked to myself throughout the whole circuit.
The landing was great and ATC congratulated me on my first solo. I was stoked.
Congratulations Roula, From experience I know that a first solo is a moment you will never forget. Only problem is that you want so much more now. Leave the pattern, work towards navigation flights and finally prepare for your cross country. My first solo was at the airport of Midden-Zeeland in the Netherlands on the fifth of december. In the Netherlands a special day which you can more or less compare with Santa Claus in the USA. So I could not get a better present than a solo flight. Still remember I was not nervous at all. Only 3 touch and goes and enjoying every single second of it. Wish you good luck in the rest of your training at Sling Pilot Academy.
Congrats on your first solo Roula! Onward and upward to the next milestone! Thank you for sharing this experience!
I remember my first solo flight like it was yesterday, even thought it was 43 years ago. My instructor did not give me any warning that it would be solo day. We flew a couple of circuits ten he just hoped out, said to go do one circuit and come back and pick me up by the side of the runway. I did balloon just before touch down. I remember feeling more excitement than fear though both rode the flight with me. Roula, that was an amazingly great first solo take off/circuit/land experience. May there be many more great moments in your flying career.
Perfect landings every time. Awesome..! Young Lady, you have what is needed to be an excellent Pilot, you rock..!!
She absolutely crushed it :D
Awesome!!!! I still remember my first solo over 25 years ago. Congratulations and thank you for sharing. Welcome to the club!!!
Congrats and welcome to the skies! You nailed it and the landings were spot on! 👍👍
You were amazing Roula and so were your instructors! Congrats and mashallah 🎉🎉🎉
Congrats Roula

Nice!! You guys should film all solos. Especially for the families and friends of the students.
It's a great opportunity for friends and family (especially if they aren't local) to see all their accomplishments ❤
Love seeing these videos of these students crushing it! Congrats!
Congrats Roula !
Amazing and inspirational job
Nice work Roula, you're a natural 👏
beautiful air craft, beautiful landing, beautiful pilot
Congrats! Thats The first big acomplished goal in the pilot´s life! 👏
Congratulations young lady, well done!
Great job. Your landings were picture book perfect. And I loved that you coached yourself aloud through your flights. Congrats.
Просто умничка! Молодец! Очень уверенно управляла и в принципе держалась, хоть и говорит, что нервничала.
Excellent first solo...shows quality of training and interest in a students performance ...well done ..
Great school, great student. Well done production. She'll be proud to show that to her kids and grandkids some day. Nice job all around.
What a power girl, well done Roulah! Great effort of the team, I'm a little old, but if I were younger I'd come there to take my PPL/CPL etc :-)
We have student pilots of all ages, it's never too late 😎🛩
@@SlingPilotAcademyis 30 too late to start?
@@FraeuleinYT Nope! 30 is a great age to start, we have a ton of students who are 30+ years old. Our older Student Pilots tend to do better in our training as well.
An actual boss
Congratulations, Roulah. I’m so proud of you
Nice landings. Congratulations. You carry yourself very well. Excellent instructors.
Awesome job!!! Brings back memories of my solo in fixed wing and then the heli. I literally thought I was going to have a heart attack in the heli on my first solo. 😀
Wow! Are you still involved with aviation?
This video was very inspiring and motivational. She did amazing. Well done.
Beautiful talented young woman. Thats awesome. Everything is about dedication and courage to commit.
Alf mabrouk! Well done, beautiful landings - inspirational. I need to take lessons, seriously.
first solo and 3 perfect landings in a row!... congratulations to you and your CFI!!! keep it up!
Thanks Mario! Roula crushed it, we are excited to see what she does next 🤙
This was so beautiful to watch, her enthusiasm and charmingness makes the video so so fun to watch. A banga plus, she is gorgeous and beautiful. An A for every thing in this video, congrats Roula.
Job well done. Remember always. You start as student and land as pilot. Remember that always !
This is very inspirational, good job 👏
Congrats Roula!! 🎉
The video is very well put together. Thx!!!
OUTSTANDING, well done Roula......
As I say time and time again, watching a first solo always brings a smile to my face.
(Having been there and done that)
I recently did my first solo as well, I remember being pretty terrified but the second the plane was off the ground I knew exactly what to do thanks to my awesome instructor, that worry was gone and I had wonderful time.
Love this for you, Roula!
Amazing..Congratulations to Roula!
Congratulations!! You’ll always remember this day even after 10k hrs you’ll remember it as it was yesterday. Congrats 🎉
Your video/channel showed up in my feed today and I have to tell you...NICE work on the edits...and of course, a HUGE congrats to Roula. The video was a joy to watch!
Thank you so much! Roula made this video a joy to edit. She just recieved her PPL and we are looking forward to more videos with her.
so proud, may Allah bless her!
Ameen! 🤲🏽♥️
Excelent ROULA! Congratulations!
She did an awesome job. Good for her !!
Literally living my dream, one day I hope to become a pilot too, I am so proud of you :) what a beautiful landing!!!
The first solo is something special you never forget. It´s feels like being accepted into a very special club. The first cross country solo is a remarkable experience also. Even it was many years ago, I remember my first solo in a Piper Tomahawk.
Incredible! Thanks for sharing! Roula will be taking her cross country solo next, wish her luck 🍀
@@SlingPilotAcademy She´s going to do a great job. Looks very confident. 😎
What do you fly now? How many years have you been flying?
@@Danny-ns1ts Hi, I was a Fllight Dispatcher for 7 years and an Airline Pilot for 20 years. B737, Crj900, ATR72. Now I´m retired.
Of course I miss those flying days, but thats the way it is.
Congratulations on your first solo! Well done.
Great flight! Awesome! Thanks for sharing the moment!
intresting video for first solo was very nice take off and landing even by wide pattern she didnt lost self esteem. excellent. what she did was the result of her teachers & flight instractors real expreances, secience and knowledge .
Mashaa Allah. Well done, great job, may Allah bless and protect you. Congratulations. All best
Congratulations, great to see another young lady interested in flying. Fly safe.
This by far my favorite solo vid on here now. Congrats Roula!!! I'm pre-solo and on a financial break. My daughter is 14 now and working towards her PPL as well. Your genuine spirit and excitement are inspiring. There is no courage without fear. Way to step up and rise to the occasion❤🛩💪👧
Awesome video! I’ve never seen anything like this before. My solo in 1980 in a Cessna 150. My instructor was 200 lbs and me at 150. Climb rate was so fast it caught me off guard getting to pattern altitude so fast. Landing was the same as it floated a bit. Congratulations! I’m so excited for you!
Glad you enjoyed it - we love hearing about everyone's first solos, the emotions and experiences are very similar (even 40+ years ago!)
Wow!!! A massive congratulations to you on a awesome accomplishment. I’m starting at Sling in May and your video was super inspiring. Good luck with the rest of your training, as I know your gonna crush it. Hope to see you around the academy. Take great care of yourself and stay healthy,safe and blessed🙌🏾
Thank you so much for you message! Stay safe and take care of yourself too! Hope to see you around too!
Can't wait to see you in May, David 😎
@@SlingPilotAcademy me too! I’m so excited!! You guys are Rock Stars!!! Stay healthy,safe and blessed 🙌🏾
Her landings are super perfect,
@@Flyingloolaalam, ahlen, Great job, I’m an aviation enthusiast and love flying but never pursued to become a pilot. I’m a virtual pilot. It’s great to see others pursuing their dreams and achieving them. We need to meet up and hangout for some in n out burger while we plane spot at LAX
I know nothing about flying but I love watching these videos. What an awesome vid! Congrats to Roula, those landings to a complete novice looked picture perfect. Nice job!
Glad you enjoyed it - thanks for the kind words!
Well done girl!! Well done!! and the instructor as well!
now that will definitely make me want to go that academy. you guys seem awesome. and congrats to Roula and Ibrahim seems awesome. just pure awesome guys
