1. Show that they know the club safety rules and pre-flight checks
2. Safely start plane and bring to take off position
3. Takeoff (mainting control on roll and climb out ) 3 required
4. 90 degree left and right turns while maintaining constant altitude.
5. 180 degree left and right turns...

7. Rectangular left and right landing patterns
8. Landing approach and go around, left and right
9. Minimum airspeed and steep bank left and right turns, maintain constant altitude
