The "competition" does gold bars and epaulettes!
We are going to try for a relaxed friendly atmosphere, but a good and consistent standard of tuition. Ultimately, we are part of a commercial FTO too, and some students will progress through to CPL/IR/Citation TR and I have to make sure we give them as good a start as possible.
I've managed to persuade management to let me use two hour slots for lessons and we will be holding monthly instructor standardisation meetings. What I can't really affect, is the club side, which is run by an autonomous comittee.
Thanks for the replies!
