after each flight the briefing goes over quickly what you did that particular lesson for about 5 minutes and then the next 5-10 minutes we go over what to read in the next chapter.
focus points to remember and bits to read over again. if its the same lesson next week all is asked is another read of that particular chapter.

If I had money to burn, I would do my GFPT and PPL in a Decathlon. The only advantage of learning in a C152 compared to a Decathlon, is that it's alot cheaper.

If you can land a tailwheel, you can land just about anything. After about 10 hours of circuits in the CAP-10 a couple of years ago I noticed my landing improved around 2000%. Unfortunately the CAP needed an engine rebuild straight after I got the endorsement and it's taken them 2 years to get it rebuilt to standard. In the time since I've done a couple of hours in ACFTs Super Decathlons, and they've helped as well.
The CAP-10 is back in action now and I'm starting to fly that solo. What a blast!
I can highly recommend tailwheel and aerobatics training, it makes every pilot a better pilot. If you can afford to do ab-inito in the SD then go for it, but if like most of us you can't then go the 152 (which is at least aerobatic) or the DA20 (which is modern and feels like it should be aerobatic!).
I've flown at RACWA, Air Australia, The Aeroplane Company, Jandakot Fllight Centre, and Attitude Aerobatics/ACFT. If you want any details of my experiences PM me
