Now that we have completed the first circuit training, in this lesson we will do lesson 2 of the circuit.
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.
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.
Slow flight and fast flight exercises focusing on aircraft control at extreme speeds, taxi checks from memory, and improvements in preparation and SOP usage.
Airwork lesson focusing on nose attitude, take-off speeds, throttle effects, gliding, trimming, and standard flight briefings.
Preflight inspection, fuel calculations, basic aircraft forces, visual flying techniques, carburetor heat, and slow flight principles.
Technical limitations of the Cessna 172, mass and balance calculations, take-off and landing performance, emergency equipment, and slow-flight 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.
