count, too.
Bring a short list of questions to each lesson. Afterward, write down what clicked, what felt busy, and what you want to understand more clearly next time.
Your lesson debrief is a good place to choose useful preparation. We’ll identify the topics and practice that support your next flight instead of giving you a pile of material without a plan.
