I don't know how all of this is done in JAR land, but during my 1500+ hours of instructing "over there", straight and level flight, climbs, descents and turns were all taught in the first few lessons (is ex9 the same as flight #9?) together with the use and effect of controls. With letting the student play around with the controls a bit, a bit of demonstrating a comfortable entry and exit, and focus on keeping the airplane trimmed, it all seemed to work out by itself. Magic, isn't it?
