Ask your instructor if its OK to fly to another airfield while doing whatever exercise is planned for that day, stop and have a bacon sandwich with the debrief, and then fly back. Most instructors will jump at the chance for the change of scene and it will be a good introduction for you to other airfields. They may be happy for you to start to do some of the nav too, but it will depend.


Sounds like you need to discuss this with your instructor. I'm very keen to make sure my students do this fairly early on - it can be pretty boring just flying exercises in the local area.


My comments relate to leisure flying PPL students spending there own money of course.


It may be that the flying school schedules wont allow this (it will take a bit longer) but its worth asking.
