FLIGHT LESSON 2

Cessna Private Pilot Course

LEARNING TO CONTROL YOUR AIRPLANE

DUAL

LESSON OBJECTIVES:

During this lesson, you'l l learn when to expect your airplane's left and right turning tendencies and how to controlthem. You'l l also learn the key to controlling your speed while in climbs and descents. And you'l l build on what you'vealready done and put it all together for turns whi le in climbs and descents. You'l l learn that using flaps can give youan added advantage for slowing and descents. And finally, you'l l get t ips that will help you recognize when yourairplane is flying slowly.
