Overview
In Flight Practice 1 you will receive basic general handling flight training in the training area and circuit area of the training aerodrome. The flight training will be delivered by an approved external flight training provider. This unit will require you to synthesise the theory you have learnt in earlier studies with flight practice while engaging in 30 hours of aeronautical experience in a small general aviation aeroplane. You will practice flight maneuvers which will consolidate your basic solo circuit and solo area flight skills. This will enable you to fly as a pilot in command of an aircraft in both the circuit area and the training area of the training aerodrome. You will analyse and reflect on your flight training to develop your ability to identify areas of improvement. You will receive all of the aeronautical experience to be able to apply for your Recreational Pilot License (RPL). You will also develop communication and presentation skills to review your flight training with your instructor. You will reflect on and analyse your personal strengths and weaknesses related to your flight training which will contribute to your e-Portfolio.
