Decent FIC

If anything looks to good to be true it probably is. I've recently heard some horror stories from high up in the CAA about some courses that are a complete sham....ie student FI has never even given a briefing.

I can finish a single FI in 20 working days if the weather plays the game and we both work hard...then there's the test on top. I always recommend allowing up to 25 days though.

You should expect to be given all pre-flight briefings and give most of them back to the tutor. If there are 2 students on the course ittakes longer, but you gain so much from sitting watching your "oppo" do it. Also expect to do 2 long briefings, plus plenty of discussion on Air Law, Human Factors, AGK etc
