Any Questions?

Questions What does AEF stand for? Name the aircraft we use for AEF? What is the number of your local AEF? What happens when you move the control column to the right? From which direction should you approach the Tutor?

Questions Which control can you touch first? What is an ASI? What is an Artificial Horizon? What is this?
