The phase that concerns me is CPL and IR.
My opinion is the following :
- for all flights and simulator sessions that include a navigation to prepare : one per day, five days per week.
- for all other flights and simulator sessions that require minimal preparation on the student part : two per day, five days per week.
It's clear that faster rythms can cause emotional and even physical fatigue and worse rate of learning than theoretically possible, but what about to slow rythms ?
Like someone who would want to keep a fulltime job and fly one or two sessions per week.
Is that an efficient way of learning ? Does the additional time for the brain to absorb new skills positively compensates the memory loss that happens in the same time, about aircraft procedures, the school's methods, and whatnot ?
Like flying two days in a row (the weekend) then working 5 days (the work week), or flying wednesday and saturday or any combination of one or two flights per week.
