What do you suggest?
That's a bit like "how long is a piece of string" to be honest.
Generally however there are things I can offer by way of suggestion:
- Turn up fresh and prepared for each lesson, ideally having read into it and mentally rehearsed, and you'll use a lot less hours on everything.
- If working and flying on the same day, always go flying first. It is much more productive to be thinking of flying at work, than thinking of work whilst flying.
- Don't skimp on basic principles and handling technique. Get all of that right, and the rest comes together very quickly and easily. Go too fast into the full exercises, and it may never really come together properly.
- But yes, keep current. Fly at-least once per week, ideally twice, if you want to progress fairly quickly. Twice per week is probably enough however.
