Does 40 students per week seem reasonable?
It does to me......for a bloody busy flying school.
So it would be reasonable for them to hold themselves out to 200 students with VET fees as being able to train them?
10 aircraft and 20 training slots per day is actually 200 flights per day, not 200 a week, but I'm not sure how you get 20 training slots per day.
10 aircraft, 14 training hrs per day (assuming you have people doing night/IFR) - 10 hrs actually flown
Assuming 1 aircraft US per day (100hrly once every ten days) = 90 flying hrs per day
630 flying hrs per week lets you have 3 hrs per week per student at 200 students
once they're past PPL stage the dual load is less so say 1/3 of those hours are dual
200 dual hours per week = 10000 dual hours per year = 10 instructors.
