Scooterboy, you say
'Is it because it is more expensive?
Is it because you will have little continuity of lessons because of ****e weather (even in summer)?
Is it because the school machine you will be flying will often be an old wreck in the UK?
Is it because in the UK you will often be trained at a strip where RT will be minimal and not a busy airport and then flying into a busy airport will scare the crap out of you?
Think of all those nice landing fees?
Coupled with the astronomical price of avgas?
And to crown things nicely the bureaucracy of the CAA/JAR in terms of having to pay for a new license every few years - lovely! Don't we do well over here!
'
That'll be generalisation in the extreme then. Some of it borders on insult to the schools I know in the UK.
As for the folowing
'1) Spins (as in actualy spinning)
2) Short field landings (practical not just waffle)
3) Short field take off's (practical not just waffle)
4) Soft field landings (practical not just waffle)
5) Soft field take off's (practical not just waffle)
6) 360 turns over an object
7) S turns over landmarks'
Well, I did 6 out of those 7 on the run up to the skills test, so maybe my instructor was as on the ball as I thought.
