One of our students did their first solo on Tuesday 29th September! 👏 While this student preferred their photo and name not appear on social media, they are happy for their brilliant achievement to be mentioned (and so are we! 🥳).

Here is a photo of Echo Golf, their aircraft partner for that very special flight!

Trivia time! What links telephones and planes?

The answer is that on 30th September 1907 Alexander Graham Bell, who is also credited with inventing the telephone, formed the Aerial Experiment Association to bring together scientists and engineers with the goal of inventing and developing various forms of powered aircraft. The group is credited with innovations including wingtip ailerons and the tricycle landing gear (as seen on these planes on the park!).

Echo Golf at Goodwood, submitted by a student who flew there with CFI Stuart on Wednesday. The Qualifying Cross Country exercise is getting closer, when this student will fly solo a total distance of at least 150nm & land at two other airports before returning to Rochester. Exciting times!

On this day in aviation! On 20th September 1904 Wilbur Wright flew the first complete circuit in a heavier-than-air powered aircraft - meaning he took off, completed a loop, and landed back on the runway - travelling 4,080 feet (1,244 m) in about 1.5 minutes. This was a huge leap forward in the development of flight, and circuit training is a big part of the PPL syllabus today.

A student performing a nice touch-and-go in India Alpha as part of their circuit training recently (the student’s circuit training, that is - India Alpha is an old hand at this! 😁).
