Sporty's Syllabus Stage 1, Lesson 7

constant airspeed climbs and descents and airspeed transitions

Preparation

Sporty's "additional study" items - There is a lot to read, but much of this was already covered on the previous flight. If you've already read/watched the material, this may be a good opportunity to review to see if your observations from previous flight create any new understanding of the material

Discussion items

• Review self study from previous ground lessons
• Review lesson objective and completion standards (from the Sporty's syllabus)
• pre-solo written question: What is the grade and color of the fuel used in the C172?
• Discuss aerodynamics of stall and spins and how the previous flight helped you connect theory to application
• FAA ACS -- in the context of the completion standards for this flight

Emergency procedure of the day
