Time between student pilot solo's?

Question

I was wondering those of you that are student pilots like me or those of you who are many hour pilots, when or if your a student what was the longest you went in between solo time. Currently I havent soloed in 4 months (dont have much time to fly and when I do I suck all the info I can out of my CFI) Going to tomorrow though!

Answer 1

Having not flown for a certain time, a pilot becomes what is known as 'de-current'. Prior to flying once again, whether solo, pilot in command, night flying or instrument flying, a 'currency check' becomes mandatory. At your stage and with your experience, this factor is even more critical. You need a currency check, where a certifiied instructor will clear you for flying solo. I believe this is applicable every 30 days. This ensures you are neither rusty in flying, nor have you forgotten your procedures.

Answer 2

Time between solos isn't that important.  What is important is how long you've gone without actually flying.  If you haven't soloed in 4 months, but you fly with your CFI every week, it's not too big of a deal.  If you flat out haven't flown in 4 months, and you're going to go straight to a solo, I'd like to meet your CFI to slap some sense into him/her.

Answer 3

You just need to fly and keep it up. But can fly again with out a check ride.  If too long you need to get a Check ride.
