RE: What should you learn on your first flightday?
DON'T rush it !!! Just take your time and let the instructor do it his way. You don't have to do everything on the first flight. As said before it's nice to do a couple extra things but maybe the instructor feels different about it or maybe YOU weren't ready as far as he was concerned . I can't imagine why but I'm not your instructor, I also like to have the new student do a couple loops or what ever but sometimes I just DON'T.
I also like to take the student up pretty high and just let them do what ever, but that's down the road a ways when I feel they have earned it. ENJOY !!! RED
