Hi Everyone, so on Thursday I completed my first solo flight! I flew a Piper Tomahawk at Richard Pearse Airport, New Zealand.
Here is the video from it!
Next job is finishing my Solo Consolidation before flying further out from the airport!
This is awesome mate! What a great achievement.
Congrats Ben, big achievement. Great feeling hey! It’ll continue to get better from here on :)
Awesome job! Great to see new pilots take the open skies!
Congratulations, pilot.
Very more flights in future! In next year, I want make flight school.
Thank you! It was the best thing ever! I was buzzing for the rest of the day!

Nice! I’m looking forward to being able to do the same here hopefully soon!
How many hours did you solo at?
@BenW No problem! =)
I had 17.8 hours, but that includes flights in Tiger Moths and a Yak 52’s etc, so not all being actual lessons
Congrats man! I completed my first solo about a month ago and it was on my 16th birthday too!
Awesome job! I’m hoping to be doing the same shortly. I have my first lesson next month!
