For the first 4 or 5 flights of your training your instructor will do the take-offs and landings.

After that you will need to take-off and climb, then at 500ft do the maximum 15 degree bank angle climbing turn onto the crosswind leg.
Followed by an APT levelling off at 1000ft before doing the level turn onto the downwind leg. (APT = Attitude, Power, Trim.)


If you go onto the landing part of the circuit, you will need to do descending turns. First a flat turn onto base leg, then PAT to start to descend, then a descending turn onto Final at 600ft.
