Yes! Yes! Yes!
Exactly.
I teach the same way as you. This appears to be very much the new JAR way it would appear. If you cast your eyes back to the old AOPA UK PPL syllabus it basically has them in the circuit after about approx 5-6 hours (says after lessons 1-5) way too soon.
Like you I believe that time should be taken over this...
The trial lesson is 45mins (Ex3) covers only a few bits of exercise 4.1 (primary effects of controls, natural sense, amount of deflection)
Lesson one after trial lesson is the START of the PPL for real and it is Ex4.1 E of C 1, IN FULL (combined with Ex1,2,5). People on trial lessons tend to have a gap before taking up lessons, you dont even know if you are going to see them again, could be months before they start in earnest. So its important to do Ex4.1 in full...then Ex4.2 in full.
I do 11 lessons before entering the circuit. Something like 10 hours of dual training. By the time the student goes solo we are looking at at 14:45 (assuming it goes by according to my syllabus)....oh and yes I teach both 10A & 11A fully in separate lessons....which I notice A LOT of instructors missing....10A is a worthy exercise folks!
BEagle
What happened to Climbing 2, Slow Flight, Stalling is actually 2 as well...oh and you forgot 11A (mandatory...) and optional 11B....I assume this was just an oversight...? Im not having a go...Just curious why you didnt list these all out when you listed out the others...
Regards,
FF
