50 years ago (I was 16) I spent my 8th hour of dual flight instruction shooting touch and go's in a new 152, tail number N60905 painted in Cessna's flight school promo paint job. I knew I was getting close to having the skills to solo but had no clue when that would happen. When I pulled up into the flight school parking area my instructor told me to shut down without first positioning the 152 for parking. He told me I was ready to solo right then and there. I was instructed to get back in and take it up once around the pattern. I got back in, fired up, contacted ground and taxied out to the threshold. Tower cleared me for takeoff and a once around. I took off, turned on crosswind then downwind and while watching for traffic and being overloaded with the adrenaline that a first solo can produce, I realized that I was about 600 ft above the pattern altitude. I instantly focused on that oversight and spent the entire downwind throttled back and paying attention to my instruments, to the tower and traffic and descending to the pattern altitude. I turned base, then final and lined up for a perfect landing. Tower congratulated me on a perfect first solo (little did he know - no transponder in that one). Ground cleared me back to the flight school with another 'job well done'. When I got out, my instructor was standing there with a pair of scissors with which he cut my shirt tail off to hang on the wall of the flight school with my name and date of the glorious event. Unfortunately, I was a sophomore in high school and needed to save my money for college. My dad (who was also a private pilot) had no clue I had been blowing my money on flying and shut that program down for me then and there. Even though dual cost $21 an hour and solo $14 an hour, the minimum wage was was about $1.60 at the time so relatively speaking, it was still expensive. Even though my intention was to keep it up after college, other priorities got in my way and I never did. This first solo was my last but I still have my log book to prove that I did it! So thank you Brady for this video! Watching this video was a first for me since then and brought back many good memories.!

John Cook The day I soloed it was the same . My instructor had me do a few T&G’s after before taxing up too the hanger . He had me stop , he got out and contacted the tower and said he was “ sending one up on his own .....be gentle “ . Scared to a point , but after the first T&G everything clicked perfectly . I remember the day I got my “ ticket “. He said congratulations......” now go and learn too fly “.

I felt the same when I was a new trucker. Usually when you hear CB audio played back in a video, it sounds like a garbled mess, but in-person, it’s usually pretty clear and easy to understand. On top of that, after you’ve been in the industry for a while, there’ll come a point where you can hear garble and still know what’s being said.

Yes, the first solo is a once in a life time experience. No matter how many hours you log, those first 15 minutes are the most remembered. I had mine on June 22, 1968 after 9 hours of dual training. We took of and landed and taxied back to the ramp of the Aeroclub Maracaibo in Venezuela. My instructor jumped out of the Cessna 150 YV-E-KPF and when I was about to do the same he said to stay in. I look at him kind of worried and he said: "you are ready for your first solo". All what I could ask was "are you sure?" Yes, I am he said. Then he called tower and advised the controller. The idea was making three takeoff and landings on the row. My instructor then said: "be aware of two main points: trim the plane less because now you are alone so the plane is lighter and most important: once you are up in the air, you must land safely. Nobody else can do it. Only you. I will be on the radio at all times. So, I took of and once in the air I realized what I was doing. On my own. My life depends on me alone. What a feeling. What was going to be a 15 minutes flight turned out to be a 40 minutes one. While on the down wind leg and almost about to start my base leg, the controller advised to extend the down wind leg for 5 minutes since a DC-8-61 was starting the down wind leg to land in 02L. I acknowledged and turned my head back and only could see 4 back smoke trails. I remembered the dog-fights in the movies, pushed the throttle to max and headed for the new airport in construction at that time and performed a holding pattern for about 10 minutes when the controller advised to go ahead and land. After finishing my 3 circles and parking the plane they took me out and poured a bucket of water on me. The custom at that time was to pour a bucket of spent oil but that practice had recently been prohibited after an accident where the pilot was burned to death because the oil. I flew for 15 more years but that first solo is still in my mind. Thanks Brady for bringing those memories.

The first solo is indeed a high light and you will never forget it. I soloed in a Piper Tri-Pacer at Van Nuys Airport in 1971. It was a totally focused event and a thrilling experience. The feeling of excitement, anxiety, confidence all wrapped up in the moment. This with a sense of accomplishment and fulfillment at the end of the flight. It’s like nothing else that you ever will experience. It brings a smile to my face and I remember it like it was yesterday. Leaving the airport that day was like I was on top of the world and it was like nothing else mattered. Take the opportunity and learn how to fly. The day that you solo, I promise, will be an extraordinary experience that you will carry with you for a lifetime.

I remember watching it and thinking "I need to do this" a bit later and this video pops up in my recommended again, and since I first watched it I've gotten my first flight, Private license, Instrument License, Multi-Engine and Multi-engine instrument. Working on my Commercial license right now and I'm loving it. The best decision I've ever made is to become a pilot. You've played a note in my story, a video I watched that possibly changed my life forever. I'm sure there are several others that have done the same because of you.

but thats not correct. trust it when you know how much error it has. so although readings are not exact, you know what they mean.. but first make a comparison between reading and real quantity. this gauge indicates "zero fuel" before there's really no fuel at all. that's for security . you may have some fuel in pipes lines and the engine still goes although the gage indicates nothing.

Hey Charles…I remember my first solo. I thought I was a fighter pilot when my C150 lept from the ground. I suddenly realized my instructor was on the ground and I was on my own. Never forget that feeling! Just great and that was some 60 years ago. Man, where did the years go?

took flight training in W. Germany while in Army. Loved flying there. Got back to U.S. and bought a new 172 that i sold to a flight school after 30 yrs flying.

BOY this is one way to DESCRIBE THE LIFE OUT OF something as simple as flying c150! I'm walking away with an impression that is easier to manage 747 (which manage and fly I did) than that bug. "EVEN WHEN YOU'RE TAXIING boys and girls....YOU'RE STILL FLYING ..." man you take this waaaay too seriously!!! I am absolutely thrilled and honored to give BIG FAT THUMBS DOWN to this one ;) you're welcome!

I had to watch this video for nostalgic reasons. The 152 is where it all began for me, I trained in the 152, I did my first solo in a 152, I did my cross country in a 152 and I did my flight test in a 152. There just seems to be a special place in my heart for that plane. It's been a long time since I've flown a 152 but this video makes it feel like it was yesterday.

Learn to make good use of your free time; as a pilot, that'll become an invaluable gift (especially if/when you go through instrument training). Start now by going through ground school stuff while you wait for flight lessons. Also the three regs Mikhail mentioned are gold. The AFH will spell out how to accomplish all of the maneuvers you'll need for your PPL checkride; if you have questions how to accomplish each maneuver, that's what will be referenced. Good luck to you, and welcome to a new world which many only dream of.

Much respect. I used to fly a lot with my dad when I was a teenager, so I picked up quite a bit of knowledge with that experience. Dad had a beech Musketeer and then moved up to a Cessna-310. After getting socked in a few times, he decided instrument rating was a must. Then with the C-310 multi-engine rating was necessary. I was a lucky kid. I have always wanted to learn to fly myself but I get incredibly airsick with rapid ascent/descent. I own a boat, and that type of motion doesnt seem to bother me, so I dont know why planes, rollercoasters, etc, get me so nauseated.

Brady, I just came across this video and love it. Brings back many memories of my father, brother and I. I come from an aviation family that loves to fly. It has been a long time since I have flown and this was great to watch. Keep your wings flapping and head high.

This takes me back. About 8 years ago i flew 38 hours with my friend as an instructor in his Cessna 152. I wasn't far from the minimum 45 flight hours for certification, but i never got around to it as my friend passed away and i was injured in a non aviation related incident. Never took up flying again even after i got my medical back. I regularly see the same plane at the local airport, at least it went to a good home.

Awesome. Looks fun and nerve wrecking at the same time. Love it.

Great refresher. I haven’t flown a 152 in a few years. Brings back good memories

Love that 1996 Roadmaster station wagon in the end, looks in great shape used to have one but all rusted out few years back, great road car!

Great video Bradley. Really enjoyed it. Loved the tower to aircraft graphic and aircraft position graphic. Helps to build the mental picture.

Wish I can have you as my instructor .your training is very calming and detailed

I received my private pilot license IN 1992 In a C-152. Great video and great memories.

Thanks Brady that was really instructive. I'm a budding enthusiast of aviation. Can't get enough of these videos.

This takes me back to my flight lessons 30 years ago. I am still passionate about getting a license some day.

Very cool. I just took my first training flight in a C-152 and wanted to watch this to observe the process

Oh I looove this video, I love that sound of the radio and how he is flying the plane

My first solo was a shock to me. After a couple touch and go's, my instructor told me to pull up to the office and let him out. So I thought he was cutting our time short. I'd already had 6 hrs. instructed at another FBO but lack of funds cause a delay in solo. I found this old grass strip field about 14 miles from my original airfield. I really likes my instructor, 63 yrs. old at the time, myself 21. After 4 hrs. of instruction at the grass field, he turned me loose, myself regretting it . The Cessna 150 was and older ship, 1965 to be exact. At takeoff, all I could remember how fast the plane got up and the lightness of controls without a second passenger aboard. A mortician couldn't have gotten the smile from my face. If you're not a pilot now, just take lessons 10-15 hrs., and solo. I promise you, It will be a life changing moment for you.

I'm amazed that I remember the settings for the 152 from my first lessons in this model 3 ½ years ago.

Nice video! I'm a newbie and have started using Prepar3d with a C172 on my PC. Right now I'm boning out and practicing the preflight/cabin checklist, seeing how it's done (although in a different C-model) in real life is really cool. Thanks for sharing!

I remember flying the 152 real early in my career...fun plane to fly .great beginner plane..

Nice! It's a great machine I agree.

great job, thanks for that; you manage to get everything in...controls, procedure, safety, excitement & views!

Great video!! I flew my first 70hrs in a 152 out of KFRG NY, 15 years ago. This brings me back.

The good ol days. I rem taking flying lessons as well as working as flight line and the small AP in Sac. .

Amazing vid and explanation!

Thanks for letting us take the tour with you.

Watching your video brought back so many good memories for me....my 1959 150 wasn't quite as fancy as a 152 but still tons of fun to fly. Thanks for the reawakening. Drill some holes in the sky for me.

Thanks much for the very enjoyable video! Wow, seemed like a very calm day except during flair out which is about normal. I flew a 150 for my first 8 - 10 hours and then switched to a 172 which required quite a bit less control movement. Earned my ticket in a 172. Had a heart attack a while back and you know what that does in regards to a flight physical.

Thank you Brady, I still remember all of it, like riding a bike, a great refresher from my flying day > 80hrs, well-done, look forward to watching more of your flying videos and travels too.

*I wish I would have had this video back during my first lesson in 2018! Love the POV*

Fabulous video and great content for someone like me who is just starting on the private. Thank you!

Left a Like a subscribed. Thnaks for this inspirational video. I will be going to start my flight training soon and this video helped a lot. Thanks once again.

Got my ticket in a 152 over 20 years ago. Very forgiving and fun airplane to fly.

@@dennis771 Im about half way through my PPL now... But have had to stop since the COVID outbreak. Are you based in the UK? Realistically you can expect to spend £10-15k for lessons and equipment (headset, flight bag, reading material, knee board & Log Book + some other bits) You'll want to find a flight school with decent maintenance on the planes and a competitive rate for hours. You'll also need to get a class 2 medical and pass your air law exam, so start your revision and book reading if you want to get the theory ready for when you fly. All the best! :)

Nice!

Used this video for reference in a cold start training/familiarization session in Microsoft flight sim. Fun to watch and daydream about being able to just do this for fun on a nice day.

Just started online ground school through Sporty's. Planning on getting my ppl this spring. Excellent video. Thanks for sharing.

Nice! Enjoy the ride, and let me know if there is anything I can help with.

I’m young and have wanted to get my license for a few years now but am unable due too various medical and medications I take restricting me… but being able to watch things like this and even playing flight sims allows me to keep a passion for something just out of reach. Love the video man!!

Excellent video, my old 152 was a daggy old thing, I repainted and trimmed it up, new bits and pieces. Loved having my own plane.

Great bro! It's good to know the basic checklist before the fly for a curious well unknown person like me.
