1950's flight training.
I keep reading about how inferior the flight training was in the 1950's compared to today.
So lets try a little experiment.
We start a new flight school and use the same equipment that was available in the early 1950's and change the time requirements for the PPL that was in effect in the fifties, back to 30 hours from today's 45 hours to get the PPL.
The airplanes are one Fleet Canuck which had no brakes on the right hand side and for the bigger airplane we have one Piper Pacer with no brakes on the right hand side.
We will train only for airplane handling from zero to first solo which will get rid of all the worry about teaching modern technology and rules and regulations.
So......with the above criteria would today's schools with their advanced better trained instructors get them to solo quicker?
