Collater,
Well, thats not really how the RAF does it. The students are shown various aspects of the cct early on, with Ex 8 (everyones fav Climbing and Descendin 2) having the first major cct teach, ie the climbing and descending techniques used in the cct. By the end of ex 8 they should have been taught to take-off and land. The first cct trip is then ex 11, and I was taught to teach it backwards, ie start with sort finals and landing, then finals turn, then downwind, each time moveing further back until after a few they are doing it all. Seems to work.
