ReplyDeleteThat was my thought too. That and the fact a student with over 30 hours still was not released for solo until here. That alone begs the question if the instructor felt pressure to release the student prematurely. It certainly would not be the first time. Once you get past the 29 hour mark and you still have not been signed off for solo in a benign 172, that's not a good sign of coordination skills (or focused mental skills, or both).
DeleteAlmost every pilot remembers their first solo. It's a sure thing that *this* guy definitely will remember his.
