Im currently doing my PPL at a school in Yorkshire and I have 9 hours. Before each flight my instructor sits down with me (with a cup of tea) and we talk about each lesson and what the main points to think about are. We then walk out to the aircraft together and take time to do the pre-flight properly. The lesson then follows the order in the flying training book. At the edn I am given a full assesment of the lesson,asked if I have any questions and then told about what the next lesson will contain and told to read up about it. We then go back to the club house I pay the bill and my instructors as a break and we have a chat over a bacon sandwich.
IMHO I would say that you are not getting value for money. You must move schools or try a different instructor?Could you speak to the cfi at your club? Be warned though,If you are going to ask questions etc etc,I would recommend that If you ahve paid any monies up front for your training to get that back a.s.a.p. As the cklub wont last long if this is how they are training students. You ahve worked hard to achieve your dream and deserve a better quality of instruction.
Come to Sherburn I have never felt more at ease in a club atmosphere.
