My first solo!

Well, did my first solo on the weekend!

Congrats! I saw this post several days ago in the flight sim group; I
thought maybe you had put r.a.piloting in the doghouse.

A new world is about to open up for you. (but you know that!)

No sir! Thought I sent it to all my usual spots, but missed here!

Can't wait!

Yes but the real question is: What are the three things that are of no use
to
a pilot?

This has the potential for a debate nearly equal to the treadmill
question....

IMHO, runway behind you and altitude about you can occasionally be used,
although the use is severely limited.

No, the real question is, what are the secrets to success? And the
answers a

1. Never tell all of your secrets.
2.

If it's the usual:
1. The runway behind you
2. The altitude above you
3. Half a second ago

BTW - congrats Crash Lander, I still remember my CFIs first words to me when
I soloed:
"Get your ass back up to pattern altitude!" d:-))

Thanks CRaSH!
I was going to say:
1. Altitude above you.
2. Hindsight.
3. That extra quart of oil back in the garage.

1. The runway behind you
2. The altitude above you
3. Half a second ago

3. Gas in the truck. (or air in the tanks)

That's the version I've always heard as well.

I just couldn't resist pointing out that numerous pilots have used just a
little of the first two, resulting in a successfull outcome. Of course, the
caveat is that there are graveyards full of folks who tried and failed...

I'd like to see how a (fixed wing) pilot can use the runway behind him.
It must be in a whale of a headwind!
