4 SORTIES TILL FIRST SOLO!


Well, our flying progress has been very well so far. If all go according to plan, we'll be flying our first solo flight after for more sorties! We're currently doing our circuit exercises. Here's some info about circuit flying.

Circuits are divided into five legs:
  • Upwind/Take off leg
  • Crosswind leg
  • Downwind leg
  • Base leg
  • Final leg
There are four types of circuit that we practice:
  • Normal circuit
  • Flapless circuit
  • Glide circuit
  • Low level circuit
