Glad Jesse got to solo the next day. Glad you looked out for his well-being and didn't force a solo just so you could film when you knew a bit more practice was needed.
Yes, I really wanted to film both - and both were such good kids...I could've fixed it if I had some more time that day but the wind picked up and we just could not get it done.
As CFI, when a student is ready, he's ready :) Safety and proficiency is the one uniform standard, not perfection. No rush, no pressure to yield that solo, and its earned sense of accomplish due to hard and smart work and study. ...rather, a standard to meet that determines one is ready, or not. Plus, that guy flying his first and subsequent solos is essentially flying on my license when I sign ...so, you bet he's ready ...safe and proficient :)
Dan, proud of you for helping out the kids. I wish there was something like this when I was a teenager. I finally soloed at 23 years old. My dad finished my training, which I appreciate.
I wish there was a man like Jesse in my hometown when I was a teenager! The training and support he gives this youth is great....that was funny Jesse had to throw in the cornfield joke 😅😂😂😊..OMG "corn star" !!
Dan, what a wonderful program! These kids will know EVERYTHING about that plane since they worked on it. Hopefully, this program will ensure the future of safe flying. Fantastic!
Congratulations! What a great program! Getting tools in the hands of kids is so important, putting them to use on an airplane, even better! Great job Dan!
I would have loved to had my solo flight on video with The Marshall Tucker Band playing!! Nice tribute Dan, and congratulations to them for their accomplishments!!
Congratulations to you both ! You guys will never forget this, I still remember my solo in October 1966, two touch & goes & a full stop. I recall every turn of all three circuits. Went on to get my commercial in 76. Most amazing thrill one can have, realizing "wow, i am up her all by myself !!! I better get this right" .
Dan, I soloed back in 1989 with 8 total hours of flight experience. My instructor didn't teach DMMS and Vref the same way you do, but did give me safety speeds of 80 knots on base, and stay above 70 knots until on final, and then 65 over the numbers. After seeing your placarded airpspeed indicator, I was certainly safely above those numbers. I like your way of teaching it. Great job to they guys for getting in their first solo ever!!!! Keep safe, and out of Dan's second video!!! Godspeed!!
I remember my first solo in a bell G2 My instructor had me do two circuits and a power on auto rotation on each circuit then ask me to land near a tree he then step out went behind the tree and put a bag of sand strap into the seat and said its all yours do two circuits and a flight across the river and land in front of the hangar. I think that was one of the greatest feelings when I landed. Maybe not but one. I solo.
Any person who solos, should be proud of their accomplishment ! It was my dream to fly an airplane, while I was a kid, during the 2nd world war ! Got my chance in the early 60's and soloed after 8hr and 20 min. ! Had a Boeing Stearman, Republic Sea-Bee, and my own 35 Bonanza , partners in the first two !
Dan another great video. Every pilot has a solo, a once in a lifetime experience. My solo in 1968 on runway 25 at Queen airport Allentown Pa was memorable with 6 hours of dual. A thunderstorm moved in from east as I was climbing out. Stall light flickering gusty to I came around and landed full crosswind with slip and crab.
Hey Dan, that was my blue spinner on 52E that I donated to the program. The kids did a great job in restoring the airplane. They hit a home run with the paint scheme and colors. Love the color choice. Hi Jesse. Happy I could make a contribution to the project.
Every time I see the spinner I think of you. Thank you for your support. Our next project will be under way shortly. Tune into our channel. We will be capturing the adventure. Sky Program
Great job Dan and great job Sky Program. I also soloed my students in less than ten hours and with all the things that have to be checked off now, under twenty is good. Dan, remember how the red instructor methods book promoted solo before the first learning plateau?
Who among us doesn't remember the first solo. When I made the first turn at 400 feet I really felt alone...it passed quickly...and elation took over. But even more than that I went to the airport the next day, got the keys and went out on my own, it was amazing. I could just go a get into an airplane and take off on my own, it fulfilled a life time dream.
My CFI was Don Cameron who I recently found out was captain on air Canada flight from Dallas Toronto when fire in toilet caused him to emergency descent to Kentucky, he saved about half of 44 passengers. He told me he was going to fly for air Canada. I got to Sun n Fun 2022 and 2023
Once again, Dan, well done! Your commitment to the promotion of aviation in general but more importantly, to safe flying in commendable. Kudos to you! Keep up the good work.
My grandfather was able to teach and solo his eldest son in 8 hours! Times were a little different back then. My grandfather had a new Great Lakes biplane and a commercial license at the time. They started early in the morning. My grandfather would kick hard on the rudder pedals from the back seat and let my uncle correct from the front seat. They practiced takeoffs and landings and were covering spins and stalls before the end of the day. Today's pilot rarely gets spin and stall training.
This is great. I've started an aviation club at the high school where I teach, and it is near impossible to get support and funding, so it's good to see that stuff like this CAN happen, because maybe one day we will MAKE it happen.
Cool stuff ....in my experience, CFIs and students get the timing of that first solo, or clearance to rent, right 99%+ of the time The Bell Curve is real On one end, the rare student that ingrains flight experience/lessons instantly, and then demonstrates proficiency so quickly, I'm curious if he was born with feathers :) On the other end ...absolutely bizarrely inept licensed would-be renters, even w Commercial and Instrument ratings, that would have killed me, if I didn't command "my controls" ...to prevent a cross controlled stall on base to final under 400 feet AGL, ...drifting from downwind into the final approach - head on into a jet, while zoning out alerts from tower, and more fun :)
Me being a half-assed 66 hr pilot, Can't Stress DMMS airspeeds enough. Low and Slow will not get you to the Retirement Home, laying in Bed2 next to Dan The Man.
Yes if you are prepared to put in the work. Age is no barrier -it’s the medical that counts. My situation was identical to Ken - start training at 62, get my license at 64 (in the U.K.). I love flying and it’s a great way to keep my brain active after retirement. For me though it’s all about safety which is why I’m on this channel. 🙂
My advice to up in coming pilots, try to absorb just as much on the hangar floor as you do in the classroom. Even if that means picking up a broom and sweeping it clean, so be it? It will be this kind of work ethic and “hands dirty” approach that will land your first paying job in the future.
They didn’t solo in one day. They had been training with their cfi. Dan just went there to solo them in one day. Dan does this from time to time because he’s just an amazing guy.
Dan, your microphone is whistling with each word. It started a few videos ago and it was very noticeable in the video with Bill last night. It's important to know if it's a local problem or you're being sabotaged. Check it out man. I know this does not relate to this video, please don't take it wrong. It will affect your audience sooner or later if left unchecked. You have my 100% support.
Where do I find out more about what you are teaching? My son is starting his flight training through Ohio State University. I want to make sure he knows about this.
Refreshing to see a legitimate program and goal compared to some of the maverick channel scams. Ie Jimmy's World and the so called Free Airplane guy.. I started flight instruction quite early at age 12. Did all my primary training in a 1946 Taylorcraft. When I did my solo I had 6 official hours in my flight log.
The title of the video sounds like you are getting a student and from nothing getting them to solo in one day lol! I did mine in 6.8 hours from nothing but did have "some" background! A father in the Air Training Corps and model aircraft since age 8. (PS- YES I think rc models are harder to fly than the real thing.....but flying full size is a lot more technical overall as obviously flying is only a small part of what is involved to get into the air as we all well know!)
…. hmmm … not sure about this one: CFR 61.87 (n) Limitations on student pilots operating an aircraft in solo flight. A student pilot may not operate an aircraft in solo flight unless that student pilot has received an endorsement in the student's logbook for the specific make and model aircraft to be flown by an authorized instructor *who gave the training* within the 90 days preceding the date of the flight. An *endorsement* is a *legal attestation* of actions taken. Either the endorsing CFI adhered to the requisite actions, or he didn’t. The term “as judged by an authorized instructor” imparts considerable responsibility on the instructor to accurately evaluate performance and comport of students throughout the curriculum. As example, let’s say an original instructor “left for greener pastures”, and is no longer available. Even there, the succeeding instructor would rightfully administer an additional 1-3 hours of instruction. A “ sit-down-suit-up-and-fly-off” scenario is wholly inadequate. Be careful on this one. An NTSB ALJ would have a “field day” with this.
@@ProbableCause-DanGryder I’m confident you exercised your due diligence. But for “peace of mind”, just ensure every element of CFR 61.87 (d) - Maneuvers and procedures for pre-solo flight training in a single-engine airplane - is annotated in the student’s logbook. OTT, great job!
@@easttexan2933 … the issue is not whether an individual will be “OK”, but if adherence to CFRs is in effect. This happens all the time, from the fledgling Student pilot, to the grizzled B-777 Captain. That everyone is being watched and evaluated on a regular basis is the name of the aviation “game.” In summary, my ultimate concern was this: ======= 14 CFR Part 61 Section 87 (61.87) - Solo requirements for student pilots. (p) Limitations on flight instructors authorizing solo flight. No instructor may authorize a student pilot to perform a solo flight unless that instructor has - (1) Given that student pilot training in the make and model of aircraft or a similar make and model of aircraft in which the solo flight is to be flown; (2) Determined the student pilot is *proficient in the maneuvers and procedures prescribed in this section;* ======= To me, the requirements stipulated by *CFR 61.87 (d) Maneuvers and procedures for pre-solo flight training in a single-engine airplane* - did not seem like an attainable goal, given such a short period of time of observation and evaluation. … that’s all I’m saying - no more, no less.
@@easttexan2933 clearly there is a misinterpretation or misapplication of the regs, here. CFR 61.87 (p) - “No instructor may authorize a student pilot to perform a solo flight unless *that* instructor has - (1) Given *that* student pilot training … in the maneuvers and procedures prescribed in *this* section” The *only* legal way to determine and affirm if the elements of CFR 61.87 have been effected is by *entries in a logbook.*” “Word of mouth” doesn’t cut it. Multiple instructors may be employed, however this does not relieve the Solo Instructor of the responsibility to *affirm and audit* the student’s logbook for the presence of the *complement of endorsements specified in CFR 61.87* at the time of solo. I have been presenting this fact of strict adherence to CFRs and “safety assurance” throughout this exchange. Don’t dismiss the necessity for a “pre-solo audit” of the students’ records (logbook), his aeronautical knowledge (61.87b), and his demonstrated abilities. I certainly hope the Instructors out there read and digest this exchange.
Dan I thank you for this but as a pilot i guess an old one i just feel the plane i don't always look at airspeed and fly cherokee six and comanche 250 MNAY HOURS in them and military as a flight engineer.....Id love to fly with you and have you check me out....\
Sam, I have always been in the same boat as you. I can pretty much tell if the airspeed is correct by feel, sound, attitude, etc. But when I first learned about DMMS/AQP-GA, I immediately saw the wisdom in it. I started teaching it and using it as well. I recognized the value of these procedures. I’ve been a CFI and professional pilot for 40+ yrs. I got to fly pre and post AQP at my company. One dramatic change for GA is the use of NC headsets. Great stuff, but the downside is loss of one huge input that directly relates to airspeed control… the sounds made by the airplane . Slipstream noise, engine noise, you name it. These are all important parts of the feel of an airplane that pilots don’t experience as well as in the old days of hearing destruction, lol. So put that simple piece of tape on your AS indicator and discover what you’ve been missing. I think you’ll be surprised! I was.
@@ProbableCause-DanGryder kinda what’s been holding me back from going and getting a pilot license lol. Freaking out over that information that is all over the internet. Thanks for clearing that up.
Glad Jesse got to solo the next day. Glad you looked out for his well-being and didn't force a solo just so you could film when you knew a bit more practice was needed.

That solo was done at DKX Downtown Airport. I learned to fly there. Skyranch is a grass field.
Dan, proud of you for helping out the kids.
I wish there was something like this when I was a teenager. I finally soloed at 23 years old. My dad finished my training, which I appreciate.
Great program! We need more of this sort of thing in this country. Thanks for highlighting it.
