Flight Training Lessons

There may be a need at some point to perform a flapless approach and landing due to mechanical failure or a strong crosswind for example. In this episode we discuss the main factors that need to be considered to perform this well. Exercise 13d - The Flapless Approach And Landing

It is very important to familiarize yourself with standard departing and joining procedures for all aerodromes before setting out on any trip. Follow along as we discuss the various options and procedures that need to be considered in this area. Exercise 13c - Departing And Joining The Circuit

Making a timely decision to go-around in the event of an unstable approach is a vital skill to learn in flight training. Follow along as we discuss the safe way to perform go-arounds. Exercise 13b - The Go-Around

Landings are a tricky maneuver to master and practice is the only way to become proficient in them. Here we look at several other factors to consider during the landing phase. Exercise 13a - Further Points

Continue your traffic pattern after climbing to downwind with your base and final legs, focusing on the appropriate approach and the correct method of rounding out, flaring and landing. Exercise 13a

Prepare for any incidents that might occur during takeoff and initial departure to ensure that remedial action in the case of any issues come naturally to you. Exercise 12E

You have now learned the basic flying maneuvers and are ready to enter the pattern where you'll spend the next while before you solo. In this lesson, learn what is required to perform a standard take off and turn onto the downwind leg. Exercise 12

All students need to be able to recognize the onset of a spin, called an incipient spin, and be able to recover back to normal flight. Full spins are not always taught in primary training, but it is important that pilots understand the theory behind them and how to recover from them. Exercise 11

Explore the other significant variations of the basic stall and learn how to stop the stall developing into an out of control situation. Exercise 10c

Learn to recognize a stall and recover from it with a minimum loss of altitude. Exercise 10b

Learn to develop an awareness of the planes handling characteristics at abnormally low speeds and how to return the airplane to a safe flying speed. Exercise 10a

Rolling out on the correct magnetic heading is a vital skill to learn in flight training. Discover several methods of nailing your correct heading in this podcast. Exercise 9d

Discover the four basic methods of turning while descending and what forces are involved in each maneuver. Exercise 9c

Now that you've mastered climbing in a straight line, learn what forces are in play in a climbing turn whilst trying to keep a constant speed. Exercise 9b

Understand the concepts behind medium level turns to enable faster turning without losing height and speed. Exercise 9a
