I don’t think Whopity is suggesting that students shouldn’t know what they’re going to be taught or in what order the exercises will be taught in or not be told what the completion standards are. In the UK, since pretty much forever there has been a PPL syllabus based on the RAF central flying school syllabus, with exercises starting with air experience and effects of controls and building on those exercises in a logical manner. I think he is just saying that this already exists, so why make things complicated if you don’t have to, for PPL students who are just flying for a hobby and to enjoy themselves. As BPF said, why try to reinvent the wheel.
