OK folks, this is what Ive just posted on the Private Flying forum....Im a little shocked at the NPPL syllabus and confused how on earth I can teach what they want taught in the minimal hours given...
www.aopa.co.uk - See news for NPPL syllabus...
Released 24 June 2002. In good time for organisations to view it then....
The syllabus is um 'interesting' (if it were in the Comedy Store I would be laughing...put it that way). Lets see: S&L currently we spend 2 hrs teaching S&L over 2 lessons - one of the most important things you will ever learn...now they want exactly the same but over 1:00 instead...
um..pardon? How is that supposed to work then?
Now im just confused...can someone now post a link giving instructors a guide on how the hell we are supposed to teach the same amount in lower times....remember it takes 15-20 mins out of every lesson in taxying, TO & transiting to and from the training area.....so....they now want S&L1 & S&L2 both in about 40minutes.....yep sure I can show you once you may just about practice once but Ill have to hurry you to complete in that time....um...lets face it - that isnt workable...and certainly isnt in the students interest surely?
Other opinions...?
