First Solo · December 23, 2025

Congratulations to Markus Chnapko on completing his First Solo!

Congratulations to Markus Chnapko, who successfully completed his first solo flight on 22nd December 2025, flying G-BHFC from Seawing Flying Club, Southend.

The first solo is one of the most important milestones in a pilot’s training. After thorough preparation and steady progress, Markus took to the skies alone—flying the circuit with confidence and returning safely for a smooth landing.

This achievement marks a significant step forward on Markus’s journey toward gaining his Private Pilot Licence and is a moment every pilot remembers for life.

Well done, Markus. We look forward to following your continued progress in the coming months.
