E of C 1&2 taught ,apparently formally,on a trial lesson? And then onto S & L on flight number two? Now I understand why some folk cannot hold an attitude, coordinate Rudder and aileron, or trim properly- it's due to about 2 or 3 hrs (inc TL) of EX 4 (never mind 5)to 10 then 15 hours of circuits while they struggle to teach themselves how to fly! Come on chaps the trial lesson should be about selling flying and allowing folk to get used to the sensations of flight rather than a formal part of the course - bring back Ex 3!!
Ex 4,6,7,8,9 must be the most fundamental lessons and can't be rushed....
I'm not answering the original question , am I? The first 'proper' lesson shoule be E of C 1 with emphasis on the use of the flight controls to select and hold a chosen attitude..
