Has anybody ever heard of an instructor turning a pre-solo student loose in
an airplane alone for taxi practice around an airport without supervision ?
It was basically "go taxi the airplane around the airport and taxiways but
don't go on the runway and don't take off, I'll come back to check on you in
30 minutes" Is this a normal thing ?




Did your instructor give you a solo endorsement?

I'm not sure if the FAA recognizes ground-only operations as a separate
type of solo.
