circuit training
Thanks for the responses. Certainly my instructor has no ego problem at all, being mature (67) and with many hours of flying. I did think, though, that he was perhaps a touch rigid in his teaching, but I have no real complaints with that. I learnt at a large school with around 30 instructors, mainly ex-airline pilots, and that seems to be the standard approach.
Of course there were briefings and I certainly had flown elements of the circuit requirements before the circuit-bashing routine, but once on to circuits it really was do everything in four minutes from the word GO.
I am going to post again with a different topic heading, not because I don't value the responses, but because I am now intrigued as to how instructors are trained to take account of individual learning styles.
Again many thanks for your collective help.
Incidentally, the articles should appear in Today's Pilot in a few months time.
