What flight schools do that students hate?
* have a student show up for a lesson and not having an instructor available
* have a student show up for a lesson and not having the aircraft servicable
* charge £600+ for a question database
* deliver substandard study materials and claim this is to make sure "the student learns how to use the CAA's website and other online resources"
* generally overcharge for the use of their aircraft
* charge ground school time for flimsy and unstructured debriefs


As this sounds all too negative, let me add a few things that flight schools do that students like :
* they don't overcharge for flight instruction
* they are creative in avoiding students having to pay landing fees
* they make good use of simulators
