It then progresses through in-air maneuvers such as straight-and-level flight, climbs, descents, and turns, followed by controlled-limit training including steep turns, minimum controllable airspeed, and stall recognition and recovery. The course covers landing training (airport traffic pattern, radio use, airspeed and altitude control, flare, crosswind landings, and local solo practice), continues with dual instruction and introduces cross-country, night flying, and solo cross-country after approval.
