Solo in Centurion

[CVStrong]

Craig - I heard a reported conversation between a previous owner of APE and an ATC somewhere... (names and places have been changed to protect the people involved )

Along the lines of...

APE "APE calling ATC"
ATC "Last caller repeat"
APE "This is Alpha Papa Echo"
ATC "How unfortunate....."

First words out of my wife's mouth when I showed her the pics and told her I was buying the trike... That is an unfortunate registration, but apt...

Well done APE -- way da go!! Wish you many safe flights!

I'm almost solo myself, getting more and more nervous by the day.

Congratulations Craig!

Nice to see your enthusiasm for your newfound flying pleasure. Good for you.

As a former PPL(H) who also saw the light I relate.

Good on you mate!

Thanks Len,

I have been telling a good buddy who has just moved down to CT that he needs to visit you guys at morningstar... he has his ppl fixed wing, but needs to fly in a more cost effective environment (he's just had a baby) will remind him that he needs to get his butt back in the air...

Heya Turbo,

Don't be nervous about the solo, just keep reminding yourself that if you were not ready, your instructor wouldn't send you out... for your last few flights leading up to your solo, your instructor is actually only your confidence booster and a passenger... Well at least that's what Flo and Francois told me... and if you don't feel ready, then let him be a passenger for another hour, how long it takes does not matter, it's how confident and competent you are at the time...

Good luck for when you do go solo, and please let us all know...

Craig
