This was the full footage from my first ever solo flight! It was at Lockhart Municipal Airport (50R) and was definitely an experience I will not forget. It was a blast! For you students and aspiring pilots out there, I hope you find this video helpful and I hope to see videos of other solos here on YouTube as well:)
NOTE: I know I made a few mistakes in this flight. However, I did fly the airplane first, and you should know that was my priority (as taught by my awesome flight instructor!) I also want to mention that cameras were set up during non-critical phases of flight. I have a personal rule in the cockpit that cameras are not to be touched except cruise flight and when I'm on the ground. If you're worried about cameras interfering with flight operations, I can assure you that I have been creating content in some form for well over 7 years now and am very comfortable in front of a camera. I also use the cameras to learn from my mistakes to become a better pilot, which is also the reason I post them, so we can make aviation safer as a whole:)
HUGE SHOUTOUT TO MY FLIGHT SCHOOL, ABOVE AND BEYOND AVIATION FOR THE TRAINING AND AIRCRAFT!
Welcome to Taking Flight! If you’re new here, my name is Ethan Gregerson and I’m a 17-year-old student pilot out of Austin, TX. I’m super passionate about aviation and helping people, so I decided to start a channel dedicated to following me and my journey from a student pilot, to a captain at a major airline! As I work through my ratings, I will continue to make these videos to try and showcase the whole road from now, all the way up to airline pilot. If you’re interested in following my journey to the airlines, subscribe to this channel and make sure to like my videos to get this out to as many people as possible!
If you have any video ideas/requests, feel free to leave them down below in the comments and I’ll definitely be trying to get to as many requests as I can.
