Video |16 -year -old girl makes “Solo” flight aboard a Stinson

Awesome! In the images we see a 16-year-old girl piloting a Stinson single-engine aircraft, she being the only occupant in the cabin. She seems a bit nervous at first, but after takeoff she seems to forget about the nerves and tension caused by being her first solo flight. for a pilot?

According to the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) of the United States, (place where the adolescent is making this flight) in its section FAR Part §61.83, it establishes that in order to obtain a private pilot "license" you must be at least 16 years old to fly any aircraft other than a hot air balloon or a glider, and to obtain the license for the latter two you need to be at least 14 years old .

The aforementioned regulation, but now in its section §61.83, defines “solo flight” as all the time in which the student pilot is the sole occupant of the aircraft, and that he or she performs the functions of Pilot to the Command (Pilot In Command) of the same.

For a student pilot to be entitled to fly solo, they must first meet certain essential requirements, such as having the applicable theoretical knowledge, receiving a special permit from their flight instructor (CFI) that validates that the student is competent and has the necessary skills to perform that flight, among many others.

Without a doubt, a peculiar image that shows that aviation is within the reach of many people in the most developed countries. Congratulations to this girl who, despite her young age, and if she continues in the world of aviation as a pilot, she will be one of the most experienced in the sector.
