But why the low fg rate? It's that way here too - and at all other UASs i've spoken to. We've tried portray this interim period to the studes as it is - an effectively unlimited time (no 10hr limit til 01Apr06!) to get as far as possible - and yet our SCT is pretty much all that's keeping the dust off of the ac.
Does anyone have any thoughts on the students lack of flying?
Could it be that the system has already backfired? The aim of taking away assessed flying to bring back the 'fun' element could also be reducing the sense of achievement for anything beyond solo....or are we QFIs just so bored that we've started to read too much into things?
Maybe we'll be offering free flying at our next Christmas Draw to remind them that it's still a University
AIR Sqn!
