About ten hours of Cessna-flights behind

We've now been flying for two weeks and now something like 20 percent of the PPL flight course is now flown. Bad weather and low-base autumn clouds have bothered a little bit but we've still managed to get airborne almost every day. The 152 starts to become quite familiar already as I've grasped a certain routine to checklists and operational procedures.

The most well-equipped plane from SL Flight Training's C152 fleet, the Alfa Whiskey Bravo.

Tomorrow we're taking a checklist exam where you're supposed to remember all of the checklists by heart, so that you are then not dependent on them in flight. Although checklists are an essential part of flying and especially our professional pilot training, it wouldn't be convenient if no-one of us knew how to fly the Cessna 152 without all the checklists. After all, it's an extremely simple airplane to operate compared to large commercial airliners.

Flaps down is a sign meaning that pre-flight inspection has been done.
