Exactly, and that won't be your average PPL instructor pretty much
ever.
The civilian flying training organizations simply do not have the time, money or knowledge to develop your level of skills. While it would be wonderful if that were the case,
it simply will never happen.
However there is nothing stopping a PPL from going out and furthering his/her training by taking a course at a specialist training establishment like yours, a course of action I highly recommend. But to say his school has failed the student because they did not get a full round of training to the edge of the flight element is I feel an unfair criticism of modern flight training.
