Default Solo... sort of

At our club the final flight test for solo is race tracks left and right, figure 8's left and right, cross wind take offs and landings, down wind take offs and landings, and 3 dead sticks! They don't have to be perfect, just show a reasonable amount of control.
Thanks for making my point . Seems like everyone has a different opinion as to when someone is deemed skilled enough to "solo". I'm not griping, just making an observation, and hoping that some of the overboard instructors concentrate on teaching, instead of trying to impress everyone with his/her own flying skills. You can teach and ensure safety without requiring the student to use his mind power to restart a dead stick plane while it is still airborn... in other words, be realistic about the goals for the student to achieve before they are turned loose. :idea:
