I know Im not among the group asked, but from someone who's just finished his PPL. I still feel I can contribute.
things I would like to be included.
more foogle time.
more practical confined area drills
EOL ( which I did )
a lot more stuck controls and TR failures
VOR is nice. but in a time with increased focus on GPS usage it wouldnt make sense not to include it. I had a little bit of it.
IMO the min hours is a bit low. and most dont finish in less than 50 hours anyways . so why not put those 5 hours towards something useful like GPS usage, EOL's and more practical confined areas.
and I agree that students under instructor supervision should be able to do confined area practice anywhere. or as a compromise have a few sites available in the area, that has been approved by the individual school. and of course has the written consent of the owner of the land.
