- Hi! I'm Erin, and I am an 18 year old student pilot training to become a future professional pilot. In this video, I took you guys up with me as I flew my first cross-country solo from KFUL-KRNM-KCRQ-KFUL. This is only the beginning of my flight journey, so I thought it would be fun to film and bring you guys along with me! Make sure to like, comment, and subscribe for many more upcoming videos (:
Update; I am a Private Pilot now!

Great job. You do very well on your radio work with ATC!!
Thank you so much!
Today is my cross country flight and I was nervous until I found your video. Thank you ☺️
As a private pilot this is the best video I have seen. ATC read backs are on point. Lol , I have commercial pilot friends that mess up ATC read backs you got skills girl
Thanks so much!
Never fast-forward the takeoff or landing.....never! That's why we watch these videos. The 2 most important parts of any flight vid
Yay!! How exciting. You sound so poised and confident on the radios. Well done!
Thank you again for your kind and encouraging words :-)
One of the finest student cross country that I have ever watched! Congrats! Very wonderful job!
I know this was a year ago, but great job Erin! I'm working towards my PPL in Socal and it's super motivating to see another young woman that reached this milestone. Coincidentally I flew over Lake Elsinore for the first time today and I frequent Ramona airport so it was super cool to see familiar places in your video. Best of luck to you!
Thank you so much!
Thank you for this video. I know it was two years ago so I’m sure you are already a commercial pilot. I just solo’d today and now I need to work on my XC. This video inspired me. You were on point with your radio commo! I wish I can be as articulate and calm as you!!
I plan on starting my flight training for my PPL soon and I love watching videos that include all the ATC communications. Thanks for sharing this!
Oh I love the editing in this !! Congrats!!! ❤️
Erin, thanks for taking us along on your first solo XC! You did a fantastic job, and I was impressed with your radio work. Keep it up, and I look forward to your next video adventure.
Thank you so much! I just passed my checkride today, looking forward to many more adventures!
I'm about to start training for my PPL and I loved seeing all of your radio communication throughout this process--really helped me get a better idea of how it all works! Great video!
good luck!
My first cross country was in a Cessna 150 and I went to Ramona also. It was in 1971. Good job.
Woooooow. This was an excellent video!!! Love how you navigated the different towers, I look forward to soon do the same, working on my PPL
One of the best videos I've watched in a while.
Thank you so much!!
Good stuff, I can't wait to get started on my training. Hope to see more!
What an amazing job! About to do my solo cross country and yours is flawless. Your radios were on point. Keep up the beautiful work!
Thank you, best of luck to you!
You are one heck of a pilot already. Perfect radio work. I'm very impressed.Looking forward to more postings from you.
Thank you so much!! It means a lot (:
Very impressive for a student pilot. And this was three years ago. She's probably a commercial pilot by now. Good job on your memorable solo cross country. Fly safe and fly often.
Brilliant, really enjoyed watching, and when I was a student pilot many years ago I always struggled a little with ATC, you smashed it out of the park girl, well done indeed.
Great job Erin!! Im still working on my first solo xcountry as well currently… greetings from Nogales, AZ.
congrats on your first cross country! definitely well landed! being a professional ame, i definitely see your big passion in this industry!
Congrats on your first solo to Romona! I’m from San Diego so this video hits home! ❤
You are awesome - thanks for posting! I'll be waiting for the next one!
Thank you so much, I really appreciate it!!
Excellent job Erin, you're going to make a great professional pilot. Best of luck to you on your journey.
Thank you so much!
Really enjoyed this!
Excellent ATC work!! I hope to be as confident and precise as you when I begin my pilot journey
I was looking for flight following radio comm videos and your video is one of the most helpful. I'm also so excited to see another woman of color in aviation. Keep going, cheering you on from the Bay Area!
Thank you so much!!
You just impressed the hell out of this 40 year old student pilot based at KCRQ👍🏼
Hi Erin, I’m a licensed PPL and I envy your radio skills. Great job!
Congratulations on your first solo, very awesome! Great radio work.!!💕🇺🇸✈️😎👍
Thank you!!
You are an outstanding pilot. I just got my PPL in June and still struggle with flight following. You have it down so smoothly. Thank you for sharing, I hope you'll post more flights.
Thank you so much! Congrats on your Private Pilot License, I’m sure you will get the hang of it. I will definitely keep on posting my flight journey
Great job and it is great to see another SOCAL pilot 👩🏾✈️ and you landed at my school Palomar
This is so cool! I'm about to do my Solo XC probably next week too! Kinda nervous but super excited
GREAT JOB!!!!! (nice editing as well)
That crazy SoCal airspace, and didn't even sound like a busy day, haha. Excellent example of your early expertise as a pilot. Also, congrats on the PPL per your update! Cheers!
Just about to do my first solo cross country. Im heading to Ramona too. This is a great video.
Great temperament, discipline, radio work and focus. Congrats!
Great job, great on the radio. Your voice seems so young yet you nailed the radio.
Hi Erin. Great job on both flying and communicating with ATC.
Thanks for posting your flight Erin. I’m a student pilot with my solo cross-country coming up soon, so this was highly relevant! You did a nice job in the crazy So.Cal. airspace, hope I can do as well out here in Colorado. Just curious if you used the video to review with your CFI.
I'm currently flying out of KLGB, working on my cross country to Ramona as well. Your communication skills are on point.
Awesome!! Great work
Excellent radio calls. Great landings!
I was able to understand everything on the radio--learned some things!
Amazing, you will go far. Very impressive. keep grinding

Hey, good job you were awesome, mine is coming up tomorrow and I was just watching videos and ran into yours, learned a point or two from your video so thanks and good luck to you.
Hi, thank you so much! Wishing you the best luck tomorrow(:
Don’t EVER give up on your hopes and dreams of becoming a Professional Pilot. You have the talent, skills, and dedication to achieve this goal. Your videos fully demonstrate this. Maybe someday, I’ll be a passenger on one of your flights that you will captain. In the meantime, I’ll enjoy your journey and videos. Cheers 🥂
Thank you so much! It really means a lot, I hope to fly you and future passengers someday!
Congrats on your first solo xc! I just did my first one last week as well:)
Thank you so much Angela, congrats to you as well !!
Wow!
I am rooting for you.
I had a friend who got his pilots license a little younger.
By the time i met him he was already rated for instrument, multi-engine and was getting seat time with the big famous Oakland cargo air in the mid 1970s.
If he could do it, I'm sure you can.
No insult to Roman, my friend.
Great video, I wish you well!
CONGRATULATIONS 💚
Nicely done! Thanks for sharing. :)
Killed it on comms.
Erin Great Job!! Your radio work, and navigation is better than some high time pilots. Your going to be a great pilot!! You would make a good CFI.
Thank you so much!
Very impressive!!!
Wow. Very impressive. I am also a student and just starting my XC portion of training this coming week. Not gonna lie when I say that watching this was a bit intimidating for me. Looking forward to the journey and hope I can do as well as you.
You got this! Best of luck to you
Very professional. Nice work.
Great job ❤️ very inspiring
Really great job!
You’re a natural! Keep up the good work!

Thank u for the inspiration...
Soooo good
Outstanding
Wow. Fantastic job. Subscribed.
Impressive!!! Nice job.
Did my flight training in Brooksville, FL and didn't have to talk to ATC even close to the amount of times you did. Fantastic radio work. You're going to be an amazing pilot.
Thanks so much!
thinking about doing my flight training up there, how’d you like it?
My boys are just going to start lessons there. They are doing classes at PHSC and will go for flight lessons after school.
Thats awesome
Congratulations,, great job !!!!!

I love being a pilot but my only weakness is taking to ATC (cuz im scared/nervous) and REMEMBERING STUFF
Nice job!
Very cool. I"m about to do my cross country flights. Loved it. Did you stop flying after this?
Hey we need another video you did great! your vid motivates me just began flight school and I’m 16 are you in the airlines now?👀
Wow great job. Just wandering at 8:09 why you expedited the runway so fast onto that taxiway instead of taking the taxi lines off the runway.
Outstanding. Good Job!
Thank you so much!
Nice job. Look fwd to seeing you get your PPL!
Thank you! It’s coming up very soon
nice job with Socal... You will make it.

The read-back on the ground is the hardest part for me.
That’s lit
Great flight - GREAT COMM work !!!!
Thank you so much!!
Hi from japan. Thanks for sharing such a wonderful first solo video. COOL 😎 I want to be a pilot too and still saving money for it. This video is my motivation for that 👩✈️ I’m looking forward to watch the next video!
Hi Amiri! Thank you for watching, I'm so glad I am able to motivate and inspire people who watch my videos! Best of luck to you (:
ATC communications were so perfect.
You sure don’t sound like a student pilot!😊wish I had more students like you. You sound like a pro.
bro repeated the altimeter 💀
Great work. I’m getting my ppl this summer.
Thank you! Best of luck to you
Must be a great learning experience as a student in the SoCal area. They send you through so many comms. A great advantage to have
Definitely! SoCal approach is pretty busy, so I’m glad to have gotten some good practice in
your comms talk is shockingly great! This seems to be the worst of my abilities, any tips or helpful aids in practicing outside of the cockpit?
Well done!A+.
