Simply so, what personal documents and endorsements are you required to have before you solo?

Any solo flight, whether local or cross-country, requires two basic endorsements identified in FAR 61.87: A make and model endorsement on the student pilot certificate, which never expires; and. A make and model endorsement in the logbook that's valid for 90 days.

Similarly, do you need your log book when flying solo? You don't have to have your logbook with you, but you DO need to carry with you required endorsements for what you are doing. Be that a log book, or on some other scrap of paper or napkin your CFI wrote them on. When under solo, you are endorsed every 90 days, and you can not fly solo without that endorsement.

Thereof, do you need a medical to solo?

You need a medical certificate before flying solo in an airplane, helicopter, gyroplane, or airship. We suggest you get your medical certificate before beginning flight training. This will alert you to any condition that would prevent you from becoming a pilot before you pay for lessons.

What does a student pilot need to Solo?

Must be at least 16 years old. Must be able to read, speak, write and understand the English language. Must have a student pilot certificate and at least a Third-Class medical certificate. (These are usually the same document, but not always!)
