Robert C. Jackson, Leawood senior, made his first solo flight in the new Air Force ROTC light plane pilot training program Monday afternoon, but he was less impressed with being first than with flying solo.
Senior Makes First Solo Flight
The program took to the air at KU Jan. 17 with Cadet Lt. Col. Gary D. Miller, Wichita senior, making a dual flight. The program is now in effect in 43 U.S. colleges and universities. The remaining 137 Air Force units are expected to be added to this program during the next two years.
Felt Lucky
Asked how he felt about being the first to solo under the new program, Jackson replied, "It was just nice to be able to solo, not the fact that I was the first. I feel I was lucky to be able to go up."
Jackson flew alone for the first time Monday after 8 hours and 10 minutes of flying time and instruction at the Lawrence Airport. His instructor was Jim Topping, a former KU student.
Jackson was not told until just before the flight whether he would solo or not. He lafer admitted,
The 31 cadet seniors in the program are:
"I never had any doubts about my ability to do it," Jackson answered when asked how he felt when he was told to take the plane up alone. "Most of the credit goes to Jim Topping who was a wonderful instructor. He gave me a lot of confidence."
however, that he thought he probably would.
The Ethart Flying Service is giving the flight instructions under the supervision of the Civil Aeronautics Administration. Sixty-five horsepower Aeronca Aircraft are used for the 18 hours of dual and 17 hours of solo instruction and the $ _{1/2} $ hour CAA examination. After passing the CAA flight proficiency ride and a written test, the cadets are qualified for their private pilot's license.
Before taking the flight training, cadets have to qualify in a ground training program covering weather, navigation and flight regulations. This is taught in the regular curriculum by AFROTC instructor personnel.
