A week ago I did my last flight before my first solo. And Guess what!!! My first solo is on my 16th birthday, 4th of January. When you turn 16 in the Netherlands it is legal to fly solo, and 17 legal to take your practical examination for your PPL course.
Now just hope to weather is good on my birthday…

Thanks mate!
Fingers crossed indeed.
I need this for my flying lessons as well, out of 5 lessons in 2024 one has been in an actual Cessna because of the weather cancelling my others
Good luck @pilot_tommie, it’ll be an awesome birthday present if you pass.
