The first solo flight of a new pilot comprises that pilot completing a take off, and usually a short flight and safe landing, by him or herself.
 Flying such a flight is a milestone known as soloing.
 Being solo pilot of an aircraft is different from most other situations in that the pilot has not only to be able to fly and navigate the machine in a competent manner but he/she also has to be able to cope with unpredictable developments like mechanical failure, bad weather etc. on his/her own and without advice from other sources (most air traffic controllers are not pilots and may not be contactable anyway).

The SET 3 was a military trainer aircraft developed in Romania in the late 1920s.
 It was a conventional single-bay biplane with unstaggered wings of equal span.
 It was equipped with fixed tailskid undercarriage, and the pilot and instructor sat in tandem, open cockpits.
 The design was submitted to the Romanian Air Force for consideration, and elicited sufficient interest to result in an order for two prototypes to be placed.
 Upon delivery, one of the aircraft was used for flight tests, while the other was tested on the ground.
 After nearly a year, an order for 10 aircraft was placed, which were delivered to the air force's pilot training school at Tecuci.
 The new trainer soon found recognition, flown by SET chief test pilot Gheorghe Stefanescu to first place in the aerobatics competition at the 1929 Romanian national aviation meet, and by Lt Octav Oculeanu to win the Aviator Mircea Zorileanu Cup at Bucharest later that year.

 She is one of the original featured leads and, more specifically, a Charmed One – one of the most powerful witches of all time.
 Phoebe initially possesses the power of premonition, which enables her to see into the future and the past.
