Instruktor the student will perform a check flight, during which the focus will be on checking the student's ability to control the aircraft in all flight modes. In particular, he pays attention to the execution of take-off, roll-off, maintaining airspeed, performing turns, flying at lower speeds, correct budgeting, correct and complete alignment, and mastering the airplane run-out and stop. During the test flight, the instructor will check the student's reaction to engine shutdown. If during this flight he evaluates the student in all the listed elements with a grade no worse than 2, i.e. very good, he will allow the student to take the first independent flight. Before this solo flight, the student will discuss all the differences in the behavior of the airplane when manned solo, especially drawing attention to the greater surplus of power, evident during take-off and climb, and to a different landing profile with longer endurance and lower stall speed. Furthermore, the instructor will draw the student's attention to the action when the engine is shut down in all phases of the circuit flight. If the student shows signs of stress and uncertainty before the first solo flight, the instructor will assign another flight in a double. The student's uncertainty is usually caused by a poor mastery of some element of the technique of piloting an airplane. The first independent flight is generally permitted on the aircraft with which the student completed training and no later than one hour after the end of the test flight.
