July 23/19 – Gary first solo on day 2

We did ground handling this morning but the wind was light and variable. It was somewhat productive but not great.

Midday break from 12 noon till 4 PM then more ground handling.

Whind picked up so it was very nice for reverse and both Garry and Glenn progressed a lot. Gary eventually started to work with the motor and practiced power on taxing. He was so good and the conditions were so perfect that I gave him the go ahead to fly and and he did…

It was perfect takeoff excellent Flying and pretty good landing but like most students did end up on his knees.

Congratulations Gary on your first solo flight. Accomplished in just two days of training. You are above average. Glen will follow shortly.

Excellent day
