|  solo
Hi all, I currently have 18.6 hours and was wondering what times you people were starting to solo at? The first time that my instructor actually left the plane and said take it up for 3 TNG's I had only about 7-8 hours and I did my first cross country with my instructor on Saturday (11/18) and then did solo cross country to the same field the very next day. Is this common? And, out of curiosity (sp?) how many hours did any one on here have for thier first solo and cross country solos? PK KD7WNJ |

I soloed at 26 hours, did my solo cross country flights with something like 40-50 hours and took my private ride with 88 hours, but none of that matters. I did my private pilots license over 3 years when I had the time/money in high school. Quote:

I soloed at pretty much the minimum, BUT: - I trained three days a week, sometimes four. - I was still a "study geek" as I was in high school - My full-time job was school and had no other diversions/responsibilities.

Cool so I am very on my way. I can only afford to train on weekends and for usually about an hour, sometimes more for x-country. All that is really left is my long x-country and my solo of that and my night time and instrument flying time and the three hours for the checkride prep and that should be all.  PK KD7WNJ |

Soloed: 28 PPL: 79 (and 3 years of screwing around...4 instructors and 3 cities) PPL to COMM ASEL/AMEL - 11 Months and 250 hrs. God bless Illinois...I never had anything else to do but fly and work. I've noticed that once you get serious about it, the hours just seem to fly by.
