1.8 Circuit 1
Today was the day that we do circuit training for the first time. An hour before this flight lesson, I passed the meteorology theory exam which I’m very happy about, after some doubts the night before. Now I need to do just 2 more exams (AGK and POF) to be done with the theory.

1.7 Stalls
This page contains all my notes for the 1.7 Stalls lesson. This was a very hard lesson because of the weather situations in late 2025. The lesson was cancelled for about 5 times, and 2 times we were already in the air but the weather was worse than forecasted. Then we did 3 lessons full of stalls till this was proficient enough to succcesfully restore them.

1.1 Basics
In my first flight lesson for my Private Pilot Lesson, I have been introduced to multiple aspects of flying. In the past, around 3 years before this first PPL lesson, I did a trial lesson where I only controlled the plane at around 2500 feet, but only controlled the yoke, rudder pedals and trims.
