Thumbs up

Pandora has put it in a nutshell really. You do have to be pushy to maintain the programme within the published time. Also, during the solo part of the flying course, you can make great progress very quickly if you use A/C in the evening and at the weekend. You do see them sitting idle at these times! Pre PT4 flying (the final S/Eng phase) can also be quick with a good bit of organisation, and showing early in the morning. The hardest part of the course to organise in this way is the flying up to PT1 where you are with an instructor for most sorties.
Unless things have changed considerabley, it is the Multi/IR phase of the course that is a complete pain, as far as getting hold of A/C goes...and by that time you will be gagging to get the hell out of the place!
Still, you will enjoy it.
Good luck.
