The Student Pilot Cast

Another episode.  This week I get to finish up recounting the story of my first solo, and then the very next day, my second solo.  There was a lot of good experience to be had, and I try to sum it up in this episode.

Enjoy, and let me know if you have any suggestions for the audio cast.  I'm hoping to get some video up soon, but I'm experimenting with the capture of video.  Well see how it all works out.

In this episode we catch up in my training through my phase 1 phase check, a change of my CFI, and of course, my first solo.  This is a big episode, and includes an event that I will always remember. I'm including a couple of pictures from the big event that I asked my instructor to take.

This is just seconds before my first ever touchdown as PIC.

This one is on rollout for my full stop/taxi back.  See, I'm alone. :)

This is after my three landings back at the ramp.  That's a happy pilot.

I hope you enjoy the episode.  Thanks for listening, and please give me any feedback by clicking on the "contact" link on the top/right of the homepage.

Another episode in the cast is released!  In Episode 5 I start to include much more in cockpit audio, by popular demand.  This makes the cast a bit longer than usual, so I hope you don't mind.  We cover several lessons, up to but not including my Phase 1 Stage Check.

There's a couple of interesting tidbits, and some good information on some changes in my training...or at least my trainer.  As for the title, you'll have to listen to find out.

I mentioned an accident that happened here locally in this episode, and promised to post a link to the NTSB preliminary report.  The fatal crash referenced is here.  I mentioned a previous accident from which the student pilot and CFI walked away.  That link is here.
