   Exercise 10

   This lesson may be taught differently at your school/club but is maybe one of the most important. The fundamentals are around slow flight recognising it, acquainted with what slow flight characteristics of the aircraft feel like and returning to normal flight. You will need to learn to recognise the symptoms of the stall, the full stall and recover with minimum height loss Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

   Exercise 7.1 & 8.1

   Exercise 7.1 & 8.1 Climbing and descending at a constant speed on a constant heading and in balance. You may have noticed that some lessons you will do multiple exercises or that the order of the exercises are changed around and not linear. The next few lessons are going to be exactly that so I have grouped them into hopefully the day they will be taught. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

   Exercise 6

   The aim of this exercise is the thing that will to learn to do more than anything else as a pilot which is yes flying straight and level but it is about consistency in flying straight and level. It is being able to consistently fly in a constant direction which we will call straight whilst maintaining a constant altitude which we will call flying level and in balance. The balance refers to our balance call and as we learnt in effects if control, it is crucial we are in balanced coordinated flight Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

   Exercise 4

   Exercise 4 is broken into 2 parts 4.1 & 4.2 Effects of controls is the overall title This will probably be the single most important lesson you do as it will be the fundamentals of how you fly your plane and more importantly how you stay safe when there is an issue and not make things worse The first part 4.1 is about your lookout and the primary effect and secondary effect of each control input 4.2 is also about effects of controls but is about the effects of some of the other controls outside of your primary flight controls Hosted on Acast.

    Exercise 3

    The aim of this exercise is to give you the opportunity to get the feel of being airborne in a light aircraft, maybe for the first time and experience the sensations of flying. Let it be known, this is when your wallet will hurt as this is the point you realise you will have to get your licence, you simply cannot not get that thrill again. Hosted on Acast.
