@CH: I am not intending to have a kneeboard equipped with iPad/ANP during the training. Not sure if a FI would even approve that
.
Just somewhere folded and stowed in the front.
I think some time back I had read a blog in which the PPL student used the tracking tool to explain his circuits practice. It should be helpful in rehashing the experiences after the training .... e.g. ... loosing altitude .... turning base ... etc.
