    <description>
This tutorial starts from Sabadell Airport (LELL), a medium-sized airfield in the north of Barcelona, in clear, still, weather.
    
This tutorial will teach you how to take-off from runway 13, and climb at 600 feet per minute. You will level off at 2000 ft to complete the tutorial.
