| Senior Member | Thanks everyone. My mom is slowly getting more open to me soloing when I am 16. I just explain to my parents that my instructor is covering almost anything that could possibly go wrong during my solo flight and how to correct for it. |

| Gotcha. They don't make you come to pilot training with PPL in hand in the Army?

| Old Skool | Nope! No previous flight training required or desired, really. They like to train ya from scratch. |

| 15 hours in N5342P at KBFI in Seattle, WA. We had tried to get it done several flights in a row but the weather kept getting in the way. I got three landings in just before the next "system" came. You never forget your first solo, especially when the visibility is going from 7 miles to three in a hurry, and the ceiling is droping like a Cirrus full of lawyers. |

| My instructor looked at me and knew I could fly. He tossed me the keys at 0 hours. But that was 20 years ago. Pretty cool. ![]() |
