This girl is amazing. She is piloting an aircraft as if she were taking a bike ride in the park. Calm, carefree, confident. Congratulations to her and to those who prepared her. I wish her the greatest of happiness her life, both in the air and on land. Take care.
@@thelastrebelshow1627 Isn't that how it is with most things? It's difficult when you are learning and easy after you have learned. It's easy to ride a bike after you've learned....but it's difficult to learn.
@@williamh.scottv438 I suppose it’s different for everyone. Riding a bike came very easy for me and so did flying an airplane. I started both very young so that may have given me an advantage . Anyway it’s fine this girl is flying her ultralight, I saw a few things she was doing I’d probably call her on if I was her instructor but hopefully she’ll be safe and have a long experience with aviation if that’s what she’s choses to do.
I also notice her precision and focus on details while flying which means she was taught right and had/has capacity to grasp the seriousness of being 2000-3000 + suspended in the air in a manmade flying contraption! Great job!
I fly PPG, and this has inspired me to start flying fixed wing ultra light. What an awesome and amazing young lady. I have a 14 year old son, he does some cool stuff, too, but she wins! As for all these people out there giving her a hard time for cell phone use or eye pro, I say know before you blow. Meaning, don't speak on things til you have all the information. There are many aviation apps and tools I use on my phone when I fly. Haters gonna hate. I say Hi Five!!! Super badass kid!!! 😎 Great job dad!!!
For everyone, I think it is extremely important for her to wear protective goggles against small insects that can hit her in the eyes, mouth and nose, I think her parents should ask her to wear a closed helmet that allows for better reception of the radio signal and better safety I also think she should also wear more secure clothing due to the altitude she is flying at!!!! But congratulations on your remarkable expertise in flying this vehicle!
It has a plastic windshield and at 6:20 the subtitles say: Insects are deflected by the windshield. And at 7:14 it says that because of the wind on later flights she wore glasses.
See the large windscreen? Look closer. A motorcycle with a half helmet is far greater risk at ground level YOU KNOW, WHERE THE BUGS ARE generally found. Stop being so effing anal
@@pauljtee9141tell me the same joke after you get hit in the eye during takeoff or landing. Eye protection doesn't have to be anything fancy at those speeds, and it's certainly not overkill to suggest it.
There are quite a bit of people mentioning eye protection, this was one of my first-ever flights before heading to Oshkosh so I had not thought of it yet. Currently, I use safety glasses but we may upgrade to a full face in the future.
as a motorcycle rider a bumble bee hit me in the mouth at 75 mph and I ended up on golf cource with busted lip and bloody nose, love your vid, get full face helment THANX!
I'm sure you will be wearing eye protection now but we were just doing taxi runs not very fast at all and a bug got in this guy's eye and we had to quit right away so he could take care of his eye. Glad you can experience this while you are young. I was in my mid 40's before I started flying Trikes. Fly safe.
I was only doing 40 mph on my motorcycle when a bee got wedged next to my eye between my sunglasses and the bridge of my nose , which the bee managed to sting. It didn't improve my riding style for a second or two. Lesson learned!@@bowlweevil4161
Love every second of this and she has a lot to be proud of. One thing that kept crossing my mind was the wind in her face. I really think she should be wearing something for eye protection. That aside must repeat loved all of this and again she has lots to be proud of. Wonderfull !
Alina, congratulations on your piloting achievements. It's really nice to see a young lady such as yourself push boundaries with confidence, and to enjoy it as you obviously do. I'd like to offer some recommendations, suggestions and observations if you'll allow me. Aviation knowledge comes at a price. You have the opportunity to learn much with the vast information and aviation resources that are available to you today electronically and online. That has not always been the case. In earlier days the skills, regs and science of flying were carried around in big boxes of books. Many of the lessons learned by pilots were paid for with lives. There is no need to experiment with safety. Know that if you cut corners, you will eventually pay a price for it. Respect experience and understand that the majority of pilots want to help you along. Listen with an open mind and declare every flight to be a learning experience. I happened to notice a few things that deserve your attention: No eye protection can be very costly. A bird strike or flying debris can ruin your whole day. When I was a military flight student, another student and instructor were hit by a buzzard which broke through the windscreen and practically destroyed the cockpit. The instructor, blinded and unable to communicate with the student, thought the student was dead. Being unable to fly himself, he bailed out leaving the unconscious student to his fate. Luckily the student regained consciousness and was able to safely land the aircraft. It was one of his first landings. Take note. A helmet is recommended. If nothing else, please protect your eyesight for future use and your next landing. You need to work on your situational awareness, both on the ground and in the air. When you start to move the aircraft, stow the phone. You should be looking everywhere, all at once, all of the time. Take extra care to clear yourself above, behind, below and in front on takeoff and landing. Keep your head moving. You held short on the wrong side of the hold short line. That line is present for a good reason. Improper operation by a pilot, both on the ground and in the air causes other pilots to have to watch out for them. Don't be that pilot. It may also cost a flight violation. Raise the level of professionalism rather than lower it. Use your safety harness properly. It's designed to keep you secure in flight, and in the event of a hard landing to prevent injury. Think "safety first" and live it. Imagine what could happen and be ready for that, rather than to dismiss concerns. Know where the nearest landing field is in event of emergency. Keep far, far away from thunderstorms. Far away. Always have fun, judge conditions conservatively, and continue to learn. On your worst day ever, continue to fly the aircraft. Do the pilot stuff. If something happens to you that you don't understand, ask questions until you do understand. Flying is first a set of skills. If you learn them well, it becomes an art; a thing of beauty. Learn everything you can, and never stoop learning. If you don't have a flight data system, Foreflight is an excellent tool. An entire aviation library can be available to you on an i-pad. I wish you the best, and many decades of safe and fun flying. signed- Hopper. Ex military pilot and flight instructor, Commercial pilot, CFII and recreational pilot.

Well done Alina and good job dad Just avoid unnecessary use of cell, at least use a cell holder if necessary, eye protection, stop before the runway line and I think a flight suit will be good just in case of bugs or whatever strike Good job girl I wish if my kid is interested in flight like you
First thing I noticed too, was too mch focus on the cell, not stopping at the cleary marked hold line for the runway etc. Then again the pilot landing with her inside the runway environment should have gone around legally.....
Outstanding, well done. My only comment is personal choice. I prefer a closed cab. Ya I know it's not the same as the open freedom thing, but I've had my fill of bird turds, insects, marine layer goop and trying to enjoy a cup of coffee or snack on those long one's. My bird is similar. We used rivets, 12 & 16 GA alum sheets and marine aluminum flex bond to seal and enclose my little cabin. What a huge difference. Put a small console in too with upgraded instruments and even an Icom VHF. Enjoy!!
The “hold short” line is there for a reason. Waiting for another aircraft to land is done on the taxi side of the hold short. Other than that… well done young lady!
The Cirrus made a 5 minute straight in final approach call and appeared a minute later. Alina called taking the active but stopped when she saw the cirrus appear above the trees.
Well done Captain Scott. When able, you could get a helmet which will give you an integrated eyescreen, headphones and microphone and head protection all in one. The headset company like Dave Clark will probably sponsor you - as AirVenture Pilot if the Year Captain. To tx Transmit, you can have a PTT button to press to talk. You can fix the button on your control column
Well said, it made me cranky to watch such stupidity. An insect, dust particle or a bird would do significant damage in a collision at 40 knots. Like riding a motorbike without protection at 75 kph.
@@richardlangley1023 Seems like you overlooked the description of the video. Flying to LRO and BACK 1) This was one of her first flights. 2) She wore safety Glasses on subsequent flights 3) The use of a helmet was considered very carefully however we chose not to use one. 4) The use of the phone is for communication in the same way a certified pilot would communicate with tower or ATC but in this case I am monitoring the situation and sending her pertinent information.

Thought same... Here in germany if you handle a phone/handy during the taxi drive and lost the concentration of the situation around or next to you, you get many troubles ....
I see some doing some critisizing she is a young girl doing what young girls do. she looks very relaxed and its beautifull to see.Her dad will give her the extra advice she needs . she is doing fine and the more she does the more she wil learn.
Only criticized and I see is her on her cell phone when she texts me that's very unprofessional I think you have to keep your focus on the runway not the cell phone

Wonderful to see a young lady enthusiastic about aviation. Please remember “safety is no accident”. I won’t harp but please at least wear a full face helmet. I hope to see more of your adventures.
Nicely done, girl! I built and flew C-IAVW an aerobatic biplane with differential frieze ailerons and push-pull control tubes. CAVU skies to all aviators!
Plenty of advice here from the "Experts", I'll leave the flight safety to them. My Penny's worth is that I know of four instances of 'Oh My God, I DROPPED IT!' moments from paramotors and hang-gliders... two phones, a GoPro, and a very expensive SLR camera. A lanyard, or some other kind of strap for your phone could be a cheap and worthwhile investment. I'm jealous as hell... keep it up as long as you enjoy it... have a ball!
This is just a nifty video all together! I never knew how these ultra lights operated. I was impressed at how fast this thing pretty much just jumped into the air. Although very windy, the view is fantastic!
Have been thinking of getting an Aerolite and found your channel. Fantastic! Only negative would be the cell phone. On previous video of Alina flying about over water, she had some need to text and was even letting go of the stick to text A LOT. Can envision worse outcome flying and texting compared to driving and texting. Have the beautiful young lady leave the cell phone on the ground!
@@matthewnelson1108 It seems they do a plane "radio check" before take off. If so then why insert a distracting cell phone into mix? Letting go of the yoke/stick to fiddle with the phone could potentially be trouble with an unexpected gust of wind. Maybe this plane has a dampened stick or is super stable. It does appear easy to fly. The point was that the cell phone is an unnecessary distraction when there is primary communications via the much easier to operate radio. Aside from the cell phone, Mr. Scott is doing a great job of teaching Alina how to fly, not to mention the two going to Oshkosh!!!
Nice to see people flying Ultralights .. I have a Teradactyl Asender .. I have in hung in my garage Haven't flown for a least 10yr's .. Enjoy and fly safe .
In Switzerland Ultralights are not allowed. The argument: All Teenagers would then fly around the houses as with the small motorbikes...... We have to much administrators.
At her age I would have been happy to just get a ride. I do have a couple of additional observations. I'm glad my airplane has a stick. I would hate to have to use both hands on a wheel all of the time. She ran that poor engine at full throttle for a long time. She flew straight out and never turned. I'll bet the pilot in the twin behind her was pulling his hair out. One time when I took off in my MX, the airplane behind me took off and flew under me before I got to the end of the runway. It looked like there was a lot of "populated area" below her. I'm glad I don't have to fly over all of those trees. Also would have like to see her look around a little more to watch for other planes. Please don't take this as criticism. I have been flying for a long time and I am still learning.
Браво !!! Вы такая смелая леди, это заслуживает огромного уважения ! Я иногда летаю на дельтаплане и перед стартом , всегда есть небольшое волнение , может это пройдёт со временем ! Удачи вам , мягхих посадок !
Amazing girl! She calmly took her place on the taxiway with a twin prop behind her and another coming in to land, and when her turn came, just lined up for a perfect takeoff.🐝🐞

@@williamh.scottv438 certified pilots don't communicate with the tower or ATC with a cell phone unless it's an emergency and thats their only choice . Also, who are you? If she can't competently monitor her engine heat and other vitals she shouldn't be flying. What happens if she drops that phone? I'm honestly not trying to be mean but I share the skys with her. I want competent pilots around me. Also, she has a headset on and is taking off from an obviously busy public airport.
Do you want to know my thoughts about your comment or are you just letting me know your thoughts? I ask because of the zillion questions and comments I get, most are rhetorical and meant as a statement cloaked in the form of a question.
@@williamh.scottv438 I was obviously mostly making a statement. The only nonretorical question I asked was who are you? She seemed very competent at actually flying and it was obviously not her first time. I assume she has some kind of license to be able to use a public airport even if it's not required for the aircraft she was flying. So why does she need someone on the cellphone? It's been awhile but nobody was walking me through my first Solo.
What a cool disposition this young pilot has. I think she should be wearing safety googles. I rode motorcycles. A bumble bee in the eye at 20 mph is no fun!
Great flying. I’m afraid of heights so this terrifies me there is. Nothing between you and the ground. You’re very brave smart and hard working. God bless.
Always wanted to do this myself but no one even close to me gives lessons. I would have to go about 800 miles to the closest person. I'll probably never get the chance. You go girl !!!!
there are people who would come to you I guarantee it. Ask around as if you dedicate a week to it it would only add about $1200-$1500 to your training as you'd pay for someone to fly to your closest airport and put em up in a hotel for the week and if you ask the hotel manager for a discount and explain what you are doing - it will probably happen. I have seen this many times in my flying career.
@@docholliday6285 She is skilled enough right now to pass her private pilot check ride and has enough hours as well. The only thing that keeping her from becoming a private pilot is her age.
Flight is solo VERY BEAUTIFULL...AWESOME .I LOVE THE SMALL MICROLIGHTS SUCH ASTOUNDING MAGNIFICENT PEOPLE IN THERE FLYING MACHINES...PURE FLIGHT IS JUST BEYOND WORDS..!!****
Thats pretty sick, Having those other planes around, nice,, i see you got the wind shield there. probably still wear some eye wear though for the wind blasting... really cool!!
CAP was such a great experience for me to. It's a shame I never pursued flying (eyesight is too bad for commercial and general aviation is too expensive) but I still remember my first orientation flight. Blew my mind, and ingrained in me a love for aviation. Good to see CAP still going strong for the younger crowd, seems like the only squadrons around here are senior members who sit around and drink and talk about golf.....
It makes my heart glad to see young people who find what the freedom of flight means to their soul. There is nothing like it to compare and...if taken serious, it can lead to many, many years of safe flying enjoyment. It broke my heart when I was forced to realize that I was to old to still fly safely and enjoy the thrill that only flying brings. Those who have done this a lifetime understand this. The Poem High Flight truly says it all...."And, while with silent lifting mind I've trod The high untrespassed sanctity of space, Put out my hand, and touched the face of God". Fly and enjoy!
OML! She has natural instinct to the controls. I would trust her to fly The 777 if I was a passenger, after she completed that qualification. Awesome! Thanks
How old??? I'm impressed! Way to go, and eye pro is important, sure, but that's something you'll learn, among other things. That's awesome, and I'm proud of you! Happy flights for many years!
I'm almost 78 and always wanted to fly, esp freely. I eventually considered learning about and buying a gyrocopter but was too busy with career and life, etc. At least, I flew oftentimes in some of my dreams that I recall well. That's something! It's such a wonderful thing to be a teenager and fly an open cockpit gyrocopter, esp a first solo flight at a small airport, not even wearing gargles ... although next time. 😃
Oh my God. Brave girl. My heart is pumping more blood while watching this video 😅. Even she not wearing a glass for protesting her eyes. Look where she keeps her cell phone😂.
She is amazing! Such intense concentration. She obviously had great instructors Dad! I imagine her landing on the deck of a carrier one day. The US Navy will be recruiting her soon, I am sure... Fly Navy!
I learned to fly ultralights at 15, self taught. Whoever this girl's parents are I applaud them. In a world where freedoms continually are being restricted at least some people still pursue a sense of it and pass it along to their offspring.
I don't think healthy hobbies like flying ultralights is a restricted freedom. I would have loved to have learned to fly at 15, but my restrictor was money as I am sure is the same for most folk. In my teen years I did look into building an ultralight and it was very expensive and I could not store it anywhere. I ended up building RC aircraft and because engines and fuel was expensive I ended up building RC gliders. Since I could not afford the radio I took a ham radio exam then I was able to build my own radio and receivers and not pay a lot of money. Now my children are very privileged I get them whatever they want, and I am lucky they have healthy hobbies.
I totally agree with you. Unfortunately as a kid my dad had to make everything a money making lesson which put a lot of unnecessary scarcity into my psyche. We had the money but he taught me subconsciously to think like someone who is desperate for it.
Oh my gosh hon, I would have given anything to have been able to do that when I was your age! I'd give anything to be able to do it now! I didn't have the know how, the means, the resources, etc. when I was young. When I finally was able to take an introductory flight at the small airport in the next city over, I was just thrilled! I was 16 and it was a birthday present. I had dreamed of flying since I was little and it finally came time to experience it. Well, I ended up vomiting at the end of the flight and had been sick for most of the flight, so basically the whole flight was pretty miserable. This was in a Cessna 152. I was so disappointed in myself, and I was so discouraged, but a few years later I had saved up some money and started taking private lessons. Well, yet again, terrible motion sickness! I had always dreamed of flying, and then I was kept down by this awful affliction. I was so so disappointed! I have always hoped that maybe someday I would be able to get back up there, but I fear the motion sickness. I have often wondered if perhaps my route to getting up in the air might be something like what you are doing, and if perhaps the motion sickness might not be as bad, or even non existent with that type of flying, or if there are medications that might help, without drowsiness or side effects that might cause one to not be able to fly safely? Anyway, you go girl! I am SO jealous and envious! I hope you can continue to fly your little heart out!!! Enjoy!!
I suffered the same fate. Made it to private pilot, but the motion sickness always was in the way. I gave up after that. I love airplanes, but from the ground. I still suffer from it 40 years later.
Everything you mention costs weight and isn't really necessary. On my Weedhopper, performance was so critical I would wear only a t-shirt, shorts and flip flops! 😂 I only had 17hp pulling me along though.
Esa joven es tremenda piloto de aviones tiene un valor muy grande y sabe pilotear muy bien me encanta los video de ella es lo máximo que Dios siempre la proteja
Building a kit ultralight or LSA is my retirement project. I'm a little envious that this kid doesn't have to wait until retirement to go flying. Still, great flying.
Awesome confident flying but for your own safety you should wear Eye Protection!!! Small things will get by your wind screen. May God watch over you young lady.
My father had a quote he repeated often: 'Never go higher than you are prepared to fall'. It has taken me seventy years to realise that he was scared of flying! He had no idea what he missed out on! 😜
How much would it cost to purchase something like this? What about maintenance and fuel costs? And lastly, what type of training do you need to fly? Thanks!

Умница, красавица, обсолютно нет у нее страха, очень уверенно пилотирует, единственный минус без очков и одета не по погоде , так легко простудиться.
Colds are caused by a virus. But definitely warmer clothes for comfort
Ну да. В трусиках, в футболочке
Женщина... Хорошо что пупок прикрыт.
The “hold short” line is there for a reason. Waiting for another aircraft to land is done on the taxi side of the hold short. Other than that… well done young lady!
The Cirrus made a 5 minute straight in final approach call and appeared a minute later. Alina called taking the active but stopped when she saw the cirrus appear above the trees.
@@williamh.scottv438Smart girl, well done!
Well done Captain Scott.
When able, you could get a helmet which will give you an integrated eyescreen, headphones and microphone and head protection all in one. The headset company like Dave Clark will probably sponsor you - as AirVenture Pilot if the Year Captain. To tx Transmit, you can have a PTT button to press to talk. You can fix the button on your control column
Thanks, yes she needs a helmet.
😂
Sorprendente y felicitaciones desde argentina.! Una amazona del aire. ! Disfruta como si fuera un paseo en bicicleta.
Well said, it made me cranky to watch such stupidity. An insect, dust particle or a bird would do significant damage in a collision at 40 knots. Like riding a motorbike without protection at 75 kph.
@@richardlangley1023 Seems like you overlooked the description of the video.
Flying to LRO and BACK
1) This was one of her first flights.
2) She wore safety Glasses on subsequent flights
3) The use of a helmet was considered very carefully however we chose not to use one.
4) The use of the phone is for communication in the same way a certified pilot would communicate with tower or ATC but in this case I am monitoring the situation and sending her pertinent information. More importantly, she is reporting her engine temperatures to me. If I see an unfavorable trend, I can give her advice or make adjustments at the next stop.
Excellent. What a GREAT way for a young lady to spend a few hours!
alina russian name
A fearless young lady, thats awesome.
She's just oozing with confidence!!! You go gal 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾!!!!
Glad she finally put down her phone. She definitely knows how to handle it. Impressive amount of technology on her ultralight!
Thought same...
Here in germany if you handle a phone/handy during the taxi drive and lost the concentration of the situation around or next to you, you get many troubles ....
@@uazbuchanka2206if you would have read the description you would know it was for communication
She uses phone to communicate
Read the pinned comment. There was a reason she was on her phone.
I see some doing some critisizing she is a young girl doing what young girls do. she looks very relaxed and its beautifull to see.Her dad will give her the extra advice she needs . she is doing fine and the more she does the more she wil learn.
Only criticized and I see is her on her cell phone when she texts me that's very unprofessional I think you have to keep your focus on the runway not the cell phone

Great to see younger people getting into ultralight flying!!
I love how liberating and free everything she does is.
Wonderful to see a young lady enthusiastic about aviation. Please remember “safety is no accident”. I won’t harp but please at least wear a full face helmet. I hope to see more of your adventures.
Nicely done, girl! I built and flew C-IAVW an aerobatic biplane with differential frieze ailerons and push-pull control tubes. CAVU skies to all aviators!
Wow freise ailerons like on the C150.
Plenty of advice here from the "Experts", I'll leave the flight safety to them.
My Penny's worth is that I know of four instances of 'Oh My God, I DROPPED IT!' moments from paramotors and hang-gliders... two phones, a GoPro, and a very expensive SLR camera.
A lanyard, or some other kind of strap for your phone could be a cheap and worthwhile investment.
I'm jealous as hell... keep it up as long as you enjoy it... have a ball!
This is just a nifty video all together! I never knew how these ultra lights operated. I was impressed at how fast this thing pretty much just jumped into the air. Although very windy, the view is fantastic!
Have been thinking of getting an Aerolite and found your channel. Fantastic!
Only negative would be the cell phone. On previous video of Alina flying about over water, she had some need to text and was even letting go of the stick to text A LOT. Can envision worse outcome flying and texting compared to driving and texting. Have the beautiful young lady leave the cell phone on the ground!
Because she is 14 and all she requires it to answer her dads calls every ten min or so to make sure you know…
@@matthewnelson1108 It seems they do a plane "radio check" before take off. If so then why insert a distracting cell phone into mix? Letting go of the yoke/stick to fiddle with the phone could potentially be trouble with an unexpected gust of wind. Maybe this plane has a dampened stick or is super stable. It does appear easy to fly.
The point was that the cell phone is an unnecessary distraction when there is primary communications via the much easier to operate radio.
Aside from the cell phone, Mr. Scott is doing a great job of teaching Alina how to fly, not to mention the two going to Oshkosh!!!
Her radio is to communicate with Air traffic. Apart from that yes I do like how her dad is teaching her
Absolutely Beautiful Flying, incredible young lady, I wish all kids would pursue something so beautiful and soul satisfying. Love It!
Nice to see people flying Ultralights .. I have a Teradactyl Asender .. I have in hung in my garage Haven't flown for a least 10yr's .. Enjoy and fly safe .
In Switzerland Ultralights are not allowed. The argument: All Teenagers would then fly around the houses as with the small motorbikes...... We have to much administrators.
At her age I would have been happy to just get a ride.
I do have a couple of additional observations.
I'm glad my airplane has a stick. I would hate to have to use both hands on a wheel all of the time. She ran that poor engine at full throttle for a long time. She flew straight out and never turned. I'll bet the pilot in the twin behind her was pulling his hair out. One time when I took off in my MX, the airplane behind me took off and flew under me before I got to the end of the runway. It looked like there was a lot of "populated area" below her. I'm glad I don't have to fly over all of those trees. Also would have like to see her look around a little more to watch for other planes.
Please don't take this as criticism. I have been flying for a long time and I am still learning.
You can see that airplane at 8:08 in the background under the propeller.
I don't fly. What devices do these tiny craft have wrt allowing other faster users to see it in the sky.

I am 36 and at my age I wold have been happy to just get a ride on wonderful machine like this 😅
Браво !!! Вы такая смелая леди, это заслуживает огромного уважения ! Я иногда летаю на дельтаплане и перед стартом , всегда есть небольшое волнение , может это пройдёт со временем ! Удачи вам , мягхих посадок !
И Тебе мягких✌
Amazing girl! She calmly took her place on the taxiway with a twin prop behind her and another coming in to land, and when her turn came, just lined up for a perfect takeoff.🐝🐞
While playing on her phone the entire time

@@williamh.scottv438 certified pilots don't communicate with the tower or ATC with a cell phone unless it's an emergency and thats their only choice . Also, who are you? If she can't competently monitor her engine heat and other vitals she shouldn't be flying. What happens if she drops that phone? I'm honestly not trying to be mean but I share the skys with her. I want competent pilots around me. Also, she has a headset on and is taking off from an obviously busy public airport.
Do you want to know my thoughts about your comment or are you just letting me know your thoughts? I ask because of the zillion questions and comments I get, most are rhetorical and meant as a statement cloaked in the form of a question.
@@williamh.scottv438 I was obviously mostly making a statement. The only nonretorical question I asked was who are you? She seemed very competent at actually flying and it was obviously not her first time. I assume she has some kind of license to be able to use a public airport even if it's not required for the aircraft she was flying. So why does she need someone on the cellphone? It's been awhile but nobody was walking me through my first Solo.
What a cool disposition this young pilot has. I think she should be wearing safety googles. I rode motorcycles. A bumble bee in the eye at 20 mph is no fun!
Great flying. I’m afraid of heights so this terrifies me there is. Nothing between you and the ground. You’re very brave smart and hard working. God bless.
Russian
Always wanted to do this myself but no one even close to me gives lessons. I would have to go about 800 miles to the closest person. I'll probably never get the chance. You go girl !!!!
there are people who would come to you I guarantee it. Ask around as if you dedicate a week to it it would only add about $1200-$1500 to your training as you'd pay for someone to fly to your closest airport and put em up in a hotel for the week and if you ask the hotel manager for a discount and explain what you are doing - it will probably happen. I have seen this many times in my flying career.
There's probably TH-cam videos that can teach you how. They got videos that teach how to paramotor.
Excelente. Minha maior preocupação foi de vc não estar usando um capacete e óculos.
I can't believe her confidence. Everything is like second nature to her. Fair play!
Confidence with a lack of skill, experience is a problem.
@@docholliday6285 She is skilled enough right now to pass her private pilot check ride and has enough hours as well. The only thing that keeping her from becoming a private pilot is her age.
Confidence or the naivety of youth, how old is she about 14? No eye protection, no helmet, bare legs & arms!
Flight is solo VERY BEAUTIFULL...AWESOME .I LOVE THE SMALL MICROLIGHTS SUCH ASTOUNDING MAGNIFICENT PEOPLE IN THERE FLYING MACHINES...PURE FLIGHT IS JUST BEYOND WORDS..!!****
A small kid... So confidence.... Hats off to her🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏. Regards from 🇮🇳 india
Alina russian name//
A bit of advice, keep your hand on the throttle during takeoff and landing. Clear skies and happy landing.
Thats pretty sick, Having those other planes around, nice,, i see you got the wind shield there. probably still wear some eye wear though for the wind blasting... really cool!!
CAP was such a great experience for me to. It's a shame I never pursued flying (eyesight is too bad for commercial and general aviation is too expensive) but I still remember my first orientation flight. Blew my mind, and ingrained in me a love for aviation. Good to see CAP still going strong for the younger crowd, seems like the only squadrons around here are senior members who sit around and drink and talk about golf.....
Parece que saiu da escola e foi dar uma voltinha no ultraleve... fofinha ela!! Parabéns!!!
It makes my heart glad to see young people who find what the freedom of flight means to their soul. There is nothing like it to compare and...if taken serious, it can lead to many, many years of safe flying enjoyment. It broke my heart when I was forced to realize that I was to old to still fly safely and enjoy the thrill that only flying brings. Those who have done this a lifetime understand this. The Poem High Flight truly says it all...."And, while with silent lifting mind I've trod
The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
Put out my hand, and touched the face of God".
Fly and enjoy!
That's very kind of you to say. Thank you.
This is TRULY Awesome!!! Well done young lady. I wished I had done this when I was younger. May All your Dreams come True!
Wow, what a talented young person. She will for sure be a international pilot some day.
Braking technique of Fred Flintstone.
Great video and very cool to see how great she handled the flight.
Amazing. Young lady you are a inspiration.
She looks like a very young woman, she will probably be fly a jet liner one day.
Who on earth is disliking this video. Having three kids, youngest girl turned 17, I would be so proud of that accomplishment. Good job!!!
Alina você é top! Muito bom trabalho parabéns
👍👍👍👍 she is a great pilot! Keep going this way in your life!
What an amazing fantastic girl. My utmost respect to her and her parents.
OML! She has natural instinct to the controls. I would trust her to fly The 777 if I was a passenger, after she completed that qualification. Awesome! Thanks
She'll get there one day and she will be great ❤
😂 you’re delusional
Absolutely amazing! Not to mention, inspiring, especially in today's day, and age.
That is so awesome. What a lucky girl to have such a hobby.
WOW! That is so cool. I can't imagine the feeling of being aloft in such an aircraft. 👍
This video put such a smile on my face when she pulled out onto that runway and went full power with full-size planes all around her. Just so cool.
Amazing!! God Bless you, Darlin. Brought tears to meold eyes!! What fun. Best wishes.... Ax
Отважный летчик, умело пилотирует! Спасибо за шикарный полет..!
It's exciting to see someone's first flights, it brings back memories
How old??? I'm impressed! Way to go, and eye pro is important, sure, but that's something you'll learn, among other things.
That's awesome, and I'm proud of you! Happy flights for many years!
I'm almost 78 and always wanted to fly, esp freely. I eventually considered learning about and buying a gyrocopter but was too busy with career and life, etc. At least, I flew oftentimes in some of my dreams that I recall well. That's something!
It's such a wonderful thing to be a teenager and fly an open cockpit gyrocopter, esp a first solo flight at a small airport, not even wearing gargles ... although next time. 😃
Ok. Voa igual a um pássaro mas onde estão os oculos de proteção? ❤❤❤❤❤
Очко всегда при ней!
Oh my God. Brave girl. My heart is pumping more blood while watching this video 😅. Even she not wearing a glass for protesting her eyes. Look where she keeps her cell phone😂.
Gosh, so casual ,not even eyeglasses on, she's amazing, at times when all the other girls are wasting life doing tiktok.
She is amazing! Such intense concentration. She obviously had great instructors Dad! I imagine her landing on the deck of a carrier one day. The US Navy will be recruiting her soon, I am sure...
Fly Navy!
I learned to fly ultralights at 15, self taught. Whoever this girl's parents are I applaud them. In a world where freedoms continually are being restricted at least some people still pursue a sense of it and pass it along to their offspring.
I don't think healthy hobbies like flying ultralights is a restricted freedom. I would have loved to have learned to fly at 15, but my restrictor was money as I am sure is the same for most folk. In my teen years I did look into building an ultralight and it was very expensive and I could not store it anywhere. I ended up building RC aircraft and because engines and fuel was expensive I ended up building RC gliders. Since I could not afford the radio I took a ham radio exam then I was able to build my own radio and receivers and not pay a lot of money. Now my children are very privileged I get them whatever they want, and I am lucky they have healthy hobbies.
I totally agree with you. Unfortunately as a kid my dad had to make everything a money making lesson which put a lot of unnecessary scarcity into my psyche. We had the money but he taught me subconsciously to think like someone who is desperate for it.
You're freely being a dbag... Enough said.
What does this mean?
Oh my gosh hon, I would have given anything to have been able to do that when I was your age! I'd give anything to be able to do it now! I didn't have the know how, the means, the resources, etc. when I was young. When I finally was able to take an introductory flight at the small airport in the next city over, I was just thrilled! I was 16 and it was a birthday present. I had dreamed of flying since I was little and it finally came time to experience it. Well, I ended up vomiting at the end of the flight and had been sick for most of the flight, so basically the whole flight was pretty miserable. This was in a Cessna 152. I was so disappointed in myself, and I was so discouraged, but a few years later I had saved up some money and started taking private lessons. Well, yet again, terrible motion sickness! I had always dreamed of flying, and then I was kept down by this awful affliction. I was so so disappointed! I have always hoped that maybe someday I would be able to get back up there, but I fear the motion sickness. I have often wondered if perhaps my route to getting up in the air might be something like what you are doing, and if perhaps the motion sickness might not be as bad, or even non existent with that type of flying, or if there are medications that might help, without drowsiness or side effects that might cause one to not be able to fly safely? Anyway, you go girl! I am SO jealous and envious! I hope you can continue to fly your little heart out!!! Enjoy!!
I suffered the same fate. Made it to private pilot, but the motion sickness always was in the way. I gave up after that. I love airplanes, but from the ground. I still suffer from it 40 years later.
Красава! Слов нет... Мододец!
Thats all I want to do in life... just fly like you are doing. Way to go!!!
Красота , смелая девушка , даже без парашюта ❤️ !
Парашют бесполезен был бы в случае чего. На такого типа бортах парашют иногда крепится на сам самолёт сверху.
Рычаг от спасательной системы на пневме, у тебя по центру экрана. Но, соглашусь - девка - молодец.
А какой тип аппарата?
парашут мелоч Очки больше нужны
What are they feeding the kid?😮 I can't believe how posed she is. Amazing 👏🏾 👏🏾 😊
Um exemplo para essa juventude. Parabéns!
I am so jealous! Enjoy that environment but definitely Protect those eyes to ride another day. GREAT JOB!
What a wonderful girl. She reminds me of Miyadzaki animation. Please be safe.
Отрастила крылья - богиня!

No eye protection, goggles, helmet? Kinda crazy. Cool lil plane.
She has a windscreen 😊
Ears protection 🎉
There will always be that guy….
Everything you mention costs weight and isn't really necessary. On my Weedhopper, performance was so critical I would wear only a t-shirt, shorts and flip flops! 😂 I only had 17hp pulling me along though.
Helmet? 😅
Esa joven es tremenda piloto de aviones tiene un valor muy grande y sabe pilotear muy bien me encanta los video de ella es lo máximo que Dios siempre la proteja
Magic, only those born with wings have this much confidence and skill.
Always wear some goggles. They make some nice small ones for skydiving and you see jockeys wear them too. Good job flying!.
Ниче се какая бесстрашная деваха👍💪
Respekt...from Austria....You looks very young....Allways Happy Landings...CBM-MUNICH
....😊
Building a kit ultralight or LSA is my retirement project. I'm a little envious that this kid doesn't have to wait until retirement to go flying. Still, great flying.
Awesome confident flying but for your own safety you should wear Eye Protection!!! Small things will get by your wind screen. May God watch over you young lady.
Wow!!! Amazing and cool aviation stuff! 👍
You look like your going for a sunday drive in your shorts and t shirt, wow amazing
I commend anybody that is willing to strap themselves to a flying lawn chair. She looks to be a very confident and competent young pilot!
Great to see very young people have so much Ambition and determination.😊
Какая смелая девочка!!!
@madwelder8490 , она даже без парашюта ❤️ !
This is incredible, You be safe young lady! 😊
My father had a quote he repeated often: 'Never go higher than you are prepared to fall'.
It has taken me seventy years to realise that he was scared of flying!
He had no idea what he missed out on! 😜
Inexpensive to buy & maintain, great on fuel, amazing views, great memories, and my personal favorite, only one seat! That's my new favorite aircraft.
How much would it cost to purchase something like this? What about maintenance and fuel costs? And lastly, what type of training do you need to fly? Thanks!
Please wear a full face helmet with eye protection
Me sitting here smiling so proud like she's my daughter! Congratulations young lady! Great job!
