• Flight Demonstration, accessed via the View Lesson function. These lessons are available with the messages for self study and revision, or without, for use with an instructor.
• Flight Exercise, accessed via the Try Lesson function. These allow you to fly the exercise from the same start point and in the same conditions as the demonstration. This is a great way to learn and practise the skills, and for assessment by an instructor.
