Beginning of flight training!

Our PPL flight training started this week and now in the past few days we have flown a total of four school flights in the Cessna 152. Flying itself feels very familiar but of course there's always something new to learn in a new airplane type. However, most of my mental capacity in flight goes to memorizing and learning all the call-outs and checklists in English language. We operate the 152 like a much larger airplane with more complex procedures than what are really needed. The intention is to prepare for the future. We are not here to become private VFR-pilots after all!

The first aircraft assigned to me from SL Flight Trainings C152 fleet was the OH-COY.

SL Flight Training has a fleet of nine Cessna 152 aircraft, which are one of the most popular training aircraft of the world. The C152 is essentially an upgraded version of the C150, which is the fifth most porduced airplane in the world with almost 24 000 individuals made. The winner is the Cessna 172, a four-seat variant with over 43 000 planes produced, two of which can be found in my school's hangar...

The Coyote and a nice summer day. This is one of the two odd birds not painted in the school's livery.

Most of the school's C152 fleet, actually seven of the nine planes are painted in the school's livery of red and brown stripes and every plane has an SL logo on tail. The fleet consists of register marks OH-AWB, -CAP, -CJM, -COD, -COG, -COY, -CTC, -CVP and -CVY. I'm hoping to fly all of these and determine my own personal favourite :)
