Learn to Fly Mini Series Day 7

Hello Future Aviator:


Today I will talk about the first part of your training, also known as “Pre Solo Training” This is all the flight training required in order for you to solo the airplane by yourself.

If you have noticed in your FREE REPORT, I have outlined all of the requirements for you. If you haven’t looked at it yet, you are missing some very valuable information

The Truth about the Cost of Flying


Your pre- solo flight training includes a few areas, I have listed them below

1: Four Fundamentals of flight.
2: High Altitude Maneuvers
3: Ground Reference Maneuvers
4: Landings
5: Emergency Procedures
6: Pre Solo Written Test
7: Your First Solo


In order for you to go up in the airplane solo by yourself, you will have to have logged instruction from an authorized instructor in these areas.


1: Four Fundamentals of flight. This is the very basics of flying. Climbs, Turns, Descents and Straight and Level Flight


2: High Altitude Maneuvers The high altitude maneuvers are maneuvers designed for you to understand how the aircraft reacts in different flight configurations. These maneuvers are: Steep Turns, Minimum Controllable Airspeed, Power on Stalls, Power off Stalls and Forward Slips. In my syllabus I ad two more maneuvers for hand eye coordination they are Flat Turns and Dutch Rolls.


3: Ground Reference Maneuvers. The Ground Reference maneuvers are maneuvers to get you used to controlling the airplane in relation to the ground. All of these maneuvers are practiced at an altitude of 500 – 1000 feet above ground level. The maneuvers you will have to practice are: Turns around a point, S-turns on a road and Rectangular courses.


4: Landings. This is the fun part and for most students the most frustrating part of their Private Pilot Certificate. Some students will pick this up in a few flights and others will need more practice.


5: Emergency Procedures: This part of your training, you go over what to do when something goes wrong. In most cases the planes just keep running and there are usually no problems but every once in a while something will happen. This part of your training is very important. You want to make sure you know exactly what you are going to do if something happens.



6:Pre Solo Written Test: You will have to take a test specific to the airplane you are using and the airport you are flying out of. This test is given to you by your flight instructor. This is not the FAA written test. Usually this test is about 50 questions or so. Your flight instructor will go over this in detail with you.


7:Your First Solo: After you have gone thru all of the above training it is that time of your training when you will finally get to go up all by yourself. In most cases this first solo flight will be at your local airport and you will go do three takeoffs and landings all by yourself.


I have outlined each maneuver for you in detail to help make these maneuvers a little easier for you and made up downloadable handouts for you from my personal flight training syllabus. Also I have a checklist for you to make sure your flight instructor has done everything needed.
