Aiming to learn to navigate the aircraft safely under VMC without infringing controlled airspace. Operation at minimum level. NDB/VOR tracking Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

To learn to make an approach and safe landing with power into a deserted aerodrome or field Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Forced landing without power   The aim is to learn to make an approach and safe landing after an engine failure in flight Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The aim will be to carry out a co-ordinated turn at 45 deg & 60 deg, whilst maintaining balance and airspeed and to roll out on selected reference points or headings. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

First solo flight! The best flying you will ever do…except CPL QXC but that is another story   The aim of this exercise is very simple, the aim is to fly solo and be the PIC of an aeroplane for the first time. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

You’ll learn to make an approach and landing without the use of flaps, make a glide approach and conduct a safe circuit even in soft/short field landing circumstances. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The aim is to learn to take off, climb to a correct height, fly the circuit pattern, make an approach to land, touch and go or full stop. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

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 9   As with many of the exercises, exercise 9 is split into parts, namely 9.1 9.2   For using on the first part which is 9.1 we have the aim of learning how to carry out a medium level (30 degree) bamnkled turn in balance and turn onto a selected heading. 9.2 takes the form of learning to carry out climbing and descending turns. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Exercise 7.2 & 8.2   Aim is to learn to control the descent of the A/C with the use of power and/or flap and to go around (missed approach) Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

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.

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...

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...

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.

This exercise is about the considerations prior to flight and it will be a conversation with your instructor at the start of your flying but hopefully something you are considering on every single flight beyond your training. The exercise raises questions which you should be able to answer by the end of your training. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Exercise 1 focuses on the typical training aircraft you will learn to fly in and familiarisation of these aircraft. Exercise 1 you can do before you’ve even started your flight training. As always any questions do not hesitate to get in touch. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We discuss why you need a medical to be a pilot and what is involved in that medical examination, and also discuss the different kinds of medical to find the right one for you. Getting your first medical can be scary, so this is all about answering all your questions you may have and trying to relive your concerns. As always any questions, please get in touch.
