I also think no one should be forced...many students, especially with glider past are ready for solo after a couple of hours maybe 10... others need to gain more experience, need more self confidence... no rush.. even when ppl is only 45 hours as by the book.
I know people who had their first solo after 60+ hours. then what?
He has said, "I think I am ready now, I want to fly alone."
Here we go.
Some students you can let go, some say in advanced if they are not ready for this. But it 's never a rush and no one should be forced or in a hurry
