My first solo!

If it's the usual:
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)

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

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

This is close to the one I have always heard.
I think it was Jose that added the one that is normally 3 on the list
above, and that is "the air in your fuel 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!

I was all ready with a response, based on the assumption that the scenario
occurred after takeoff, but... I have been a bad enough influence lately,
and I have decided to improve a few days early in honor of the new year.
