Ok so maybe we've jumped ahead a little here but essentially all lessons leading up to the first solo flight are intended to get you to operate the aircraft in a safe manor. In a professional flight training school however we are expected to be "checklist fluent" and show a developing commercially expeditious technique. It all sounds rather complicated and it is at first, though essentially this is just being able to operate the aircraft accurately, safely and to good time. The first solo was just a simple full flapped landing with a preceding circuit. Nothing out of the ordinary. Not to forget though we need to be aware of wind limitations and other eventualities such as:
- Diversions due to weather or airfield closure
- Engine problems
- Aircraft wake turbulence
- Spacing and holding procedures.
