This regimented approach can be beneficial for students pursuing aviation as a full-time career, as it is often designed to meet airline and professional pilot training standards. Your instructor will introduce you to the basic components of the aircraft, including the fuselage, wings, ailerons, rudder, elevator, and landing gear.

You might spot the spoilers popping up from the top of the wing and the ailerons deflecting upwards and downwards on the rear of the wing. One of the first items on before taxi checklists is to set the take-off flaps well before the aircraft approaches the runway. Part two will soon be available on AeroTime.

Just remember the acronym PARE: Power idle, Ailerons neutral, Rudder opposite of the spin, and Elevator forward. The nose pitches up, sometimes aggressively because of how the airplane was trimmed on final approach and all your flaps are generally still down (lots of lift there). So how do you recover from a spin? What happens next?

If it is not possible to evacuate the area as a major storm approaches and an aircraft is not normally stored in a hangar, the first suggestion is to arrange temporary hangar space as far in advance as possible. A lap belt secured to the control wheel can serve as a substitute for external aileron and elevator locks.

Flight controls mean ailerons, elevator, and rudder, of course, but on some airplanes, if the trim is mis-set, the plane might be difficult or impossible to control.

It only takes a 10% increase in approach speed to increase the landing roll by 20%. These obstacles frequently affect the approach and missed approach paths. Plan your approach path carefully to eliminate large pitch and power changes. Full flaps are generally used since they lower approach speed and increase drag.
