Flying a circuit at Gidding - Texas

Mastering a flight in a circuit around an airport is the basic part of a pilot training. Taking off correctly, climbing at the right speed, setting the engine RPM at the right value, managing the flaps and undercarriage, leveling off at the correct altitude, maintaining the prescribed speed and altitude throughout the circle, carrying out all the prescribed checks, making the turns at the apropriate positions, communicating correctly with the tower, descending at the right speed, rate and direction, landing at a correct speed and spot, etc. etc., all this shows the level of proficiency of any pilot. It is good to repeat the routine whenever there is an opportunity. Here I did just that in a Cessna C 172 at the airport of Giddings, Texas.
