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

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

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.

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.
