Flying Instructors & Examiners A place for instructors to communicate with one another because some of them get a bit tired of the attitude that instructing is the lowest form of aviation, as seems to prevail on some of the other forums!

Advice for beginning the CPL

Hello I'm beginning my CPL towards the end of this month and would like some constructive advice from instructors as to which areas I should brush up on before I start to make everything go as smooth as possible.

Thanks

If you are talking handling here then I would suggest doing a few flights where you practice everything you would do in a skills test - Steep turn, stalling, PFL etc, and finish with a few varied circuits, try and be critical of yourself, or even better take someone with you that knows what they are doing and get them to criticise you. Good luck

There are a lot of threads on this already, mostly in the "Professional Pilot Training" (often referred to as the Wanabees) area of PPRuNe. If you use the search function, you should find a lot of good advice.
