When are you Ready for your First Solo?

(Often called a "Supervised Solo")

It's all about CONSISTENCY:

..•.	Before you are allowed to fly solo and act as Pilot in Command (PIC), you must CONSISTENTLY BE SAFE
..•.	One great flight is not what we need to ensure you are ready to be on your own
..•.	Over a number of flights, you must be able to demonstrate command of the following without the help of your instructor:
.	..•.	Radio Communications
.	..•.	Situation Awareness
.	..•.	Stabilized Approaches
