Default First solo

Took a student from zero time a couple weeks ago, and he did his first solo Wednesday, 4 Aug.

looks like you got a good student they are fun to work worth...just wait to you get one that has 20 hours and not soloed. You will pull your hair out as you begin to pawn him of on another CFI who will do the same after 10 hours.

I had a student that I couldn't solo and we passed him around the department. He went through 5 CFI's before we told him he wasn't meant to fly...The would freeze and start shaking on final everytime....

I've got a lady who has 43 hours and I MIGHT solo her on Sunday... talk about wanting to throw in the towel... but you just have to stick it out and eventually they WILL get it...

Great job on the solo! Scariest thing you've ever done? I know my first solo student I sent him up after about 9 hours... I was scared S***less... but it was great!

Congratulations, by the way how many hours did it take for him before you can let him of for his solo?
