In fact, it’s a tradition that’s flattering and you meet with a big smile on your face. I’m sure it’s a situation that every pilot candidate welcomes with open arms. That is, students who are trained to pilot fly alone when their instructors decide that they are ready after their long, exhausting and challenging training, that is, they complete their first solo flight. Pilots who learn about this situation are left alone with their aircraft, which they train in the next flight hours. After a few minutes full of excitement and adrenaline, they take off and after a short flight, they put the wheel back on the ground.
At the moment of take-off, all pilots in the tower and in the air show subtlety and wish the new pilot luck. A small crowd, usually a fire truck or all the water resources and instructors allowed by the environment, awaits our fresh pilot when they get off their plane with the pride of making the first flight and the dream of the good things that can happen after that. The fire truck wets the pilot’s red face and stressed body to calm him down, and then the instructor makes the wet pilot do push-ups. It is engraved in your memory as small but unforgettable memory, and you will find yourself talking about this moment many times for the rest of your life. Congratulations, since you have gone through these stages, you are now ready to use a training plane alone.
