Students are encouraged to do this flight either during their PPL training (although realistically you'd have to be at the end of your PPL training, not in one of the first few lessons) or shortly after obtaining their license.
I don't entirely agree that students should not experience aeros and hands on aeros until well into their PPL... Ok, so its not PPL syllabus; but why not introduce students to the advanced joys of flying? although agreed, only if they are up for it and are sensible enough to realise that this is not exactly what newbies should be doing solo!!! It also helps get over the nausea feeling for quick manouvres.
My very first airex flight included hands on aeros (Aileron Rolls and Loops) and thats what did it for me...REAL exciting flying...I have also experienced aeros twice sice I have started PPL training properly. Once I have my licence I too want to learn aeros and how to fly taildraggers. As many have said, flying should be fun and thats certainly what i'm in it for!
