Flight Training Lessons

If you find you are too high on final approach, consider using a sideslip maneuver to decrease altitude at a faster rate using crossed controls. Exercise 8d

Adding flaps in a descent increases drag allowing you to lower the nose significantly without gaining speed. This is a key lesson to learn which you will use on every approach and landing. Exercise 8c

Learn how to control the rate of descent using power at a constant speed. Exercise 8b

Descending to a particular height without power requires understanding of the major forces acting on an airplane. Learn how to reduce power, descend to your chosen height and level off like a pro. Exercise 8a

Learn how to enter a climb at a constant speed and level off at your predetermined height in a smooth and consistent fashion. Exercise 7

Raising and lowering flaps has a significant effect on the aerodynamics of the airplane. Learn how to raise and lower the flaps without the airplane ballooning or sinking allowing you to fly straight and level. Exercise 6c

After mastering straight and level at constant power, now consider what is needed to fly the plane straight and level with a constant airspeed. Use of elevator and trim become critical in this exercise. Exercise 6b

Flying straight and level is a key skill that needs to be mastered by every pilot before they can proceed to further lessons. Discover why this is so important and how to go about adjusting power whilst maintaining straight and level flight. Exercise 6a

Even on the ground pilots must prepare for emergencies. Here are some basic steps to follow if an emergency is encountered during taxiing. Exercise 5E

In flight, aeroplanes are graceful and maneuverable. However, on the ground they can be slow and clunky and can cause problems for student pilots. Learn the rules and procedures of taxiing to maneuver the plane safely. Exercise 5

Adequate ventilation and air quality is vital to your comfort and safety as a pilot. You need to understand where the air from the ventilation system comes from and what dangers are associated with it. Exercise 4j

Get to grips with the basic operation of the airplane radio enabling you to communicate with ATC and other aircraft. Exercise 4i

As your altitude increases your fuel/air mixture becomes richer, as the air is less dense the higher you fly. Learn what the mixture control is for and how to apply it during flight. Exercise 4h
