boy I hear alot of complaining about how hard it is. Well...Lindbergh instructed and that's good enough for me.
Give up everything and you will get ahead...think that it will be an easy course and you are wrong, unless daddy has lots of money.
IF it were easy, everyone would do it. you are being weeded out by those 300 to 1500 hours. I am a damn good pilot and it came from sacrifice not an easy time of it.
When I was waiting for a new student, I would read and enhance my knowledge. I would listen to other instructors and what they said to their students. I would go to the bench and watch landings and learn.
Do whatevery you like. Blame the FAA or the wretched way you guys do things in Europe.
But put up or shut up...put up by paying your dues the hard way.
