Native English help needed

Hi folks,

 

During flight training, what do you call a flight that leaves the training pattern, but is not a cross country flight? You just do stuff in the airspace around the airport. Could you say "airspace flight"? Or is there a specific word for these?

 

Thanks in advance!

Possibly "general handling" but I'm not 100% sure..

How about "local flight"?

I think that would work

Thanks a lot!
