Stop Being A Baby! Student Solo Flight in Cessna 172 - Road to Private Episode 16

Help support my channel by checking out my Patreon page at   / midlifepilot   Total logged time before this flight: 25.3 Hours Hey Friends! I love making these flight videos, and I'm so glad you're enjoying them as well. I could really use your help. Would you mind taking a moment and sharing this channel with your friends - in flight forums, Facebook groups you belong to, etc.? Lately, I've hit a mental road block. There have been many cases where I've went to the field, preflighted the airplane, fueled up, then put the plane right back away because I just couldn't bring myself to fly solo. There is this strange fear that has crept in. So in this episode, I've planned a solo cross country from 4G7 to KAFJ via KCKB. I fly the first leg (including one of the very worst approaches I've ever flown - completely ignoring the pitch/power relationship), then the mental stuff kicks in.
