ED Decision 2020/003/R
(1) The numbering of exercises should be used primarily as an exercise reference list and as a broad instructional sequencing guide; therefore, the demonstrations and practices need not necessarily be given in the order listed. The actual order and content will depend upon the following interrelated factors:
(i) the applicant’s progress and ability;
(2) Each of the exercises requires the applicant to be aware of the need for as well as the principles of good airmanship and look-out, which should be emphasised at all times.
Note: Exercises 1 to 16 must have been completed and the student must have achieved a sufficient level of competence to safely perform a flight before undertaking the first solo flight.
