I know of schools who have dedicated 30 mintue taxiing lessons but quite frankly how many times do you spend .2 taxiing prior to your first solo with an instructor, and between each solo with an instructor... quite frankly just dont do it mate... absolutle of no benefit and will hurt your flying until you have adapted some visual skills... exactly why flight sim jockies have such trouble adapting to visual flight when you cover up some of the six pack.

As for the Sim time..... good to see this schools focus is on the visual aspect of flying

If they dont send you solo because you ride the brakes a little... welll to be honest anything with a fair size donk in it you need to otherwise you accelerate when taxiing..... its how much you ride them versus power being used which is the problem..... especially in a piston.

What a load......... It just doesn't surprise me however.... anything for a buck
