MEP Training - Basic Questions
Hi
My son is currently undertaking his MEP training in the UK. I am aviation-ignorant!
His MEP was going well, not so much now as he approaches his exam/test.
I have three questions which are :-
1. Whilst he was advised at the start that the training would be for a minimum of 6 hours (and after 6.25 hours was told he was doing well but needed another hour's tuition) he is now looking at a minimum of 9.5 hours as his flight-school deem him to still not be ready. Is this normal (there appears to be a clear financial benefit to the organisation to expand his training indefinitely)?
2. Is it normal for an instructor to scream/shout constantly at a student at every error made in the air? I am not looking for a politically correct NO here - I do understand that it may be a justifiable technique in order to put the student under pressure.
3. Is the 7 hours theoretical instruction optional or unimportant? My son hasn't received it yet and it doesn't seem to be on the agenda.
Many thanks
