Yep, as has been said, your next few hours will cover straight & level flight and explore the effects of the flying controls, as well climbing, descending and turns. In other words, basic handling.

You'll gradually hear less 'I have control' from your instructor, and will start doing more work on approaches / landings & the radio.

Once your instructor is happy with your basic flying skills, you'll move onto circuit bashing in preparation for 1st solo. Thats when things like EFATO & flapless / glide approaches will come in).

Enjoy!
