People think powering these electric motors is free because it comes out of a wall socket.
The clown promoting the pipistrel trainer is full of it. It is clearly not anything a school can use effectively when a 90 minute recharge is required between flights for a sub 1.0 flight. He's also promoting a viable recharging network between airports, clearly airports need to be no more than 60nm apart. There's no doubt, that one day they will be viable, but not now and they are not environmentally friendly.

"What I have learned the most in 18 years of #aircraft design, 12 of those with Professor Luigi Pascale teaching me everything he could, participating with a fantastic team to 10 airplanes designs including “my son”, my own design FR-01 Snap, is that the most important lesson in the aircraft design is that you should never fall in love with your idea(s), trying to make “aerobatics” around concepts just to demonstrate (mainly to yourself) that they are valid. There is just and only one judge in the #aviation, and it is the market. This is a strange era, where the aviation world is not easy to decrypt as it seems sometimes more interested in collecting and signing announcements… but the lesson doesn’t change: a product needs to fulfill real market needs, and if #technology doesn’t allow, looking at the reality is the best way instead of following “waves”. Did the Company abandon the #sustainability concept? Not really, as we are currently the single-source fleet supplier for Flight Schools with the lowest #emissions in the world. Sustainability is also this, not necessarily a trend made by keywords. In the next 10 years, the demand will be for 260.000 new pilots: training them with the Tecnam fleet could mean in saving up to 2,39 million tons of #co2 or up to 5.000 liters of fuel for every single CPL student… Do you think there is any possibility to do better from now to 2033? Sustainability is a consequence of efficient aircraft design, making possible the technology integration, once they are suited for the purpose. Be sure that, once they will be ready, we’ll be on the (real) market sooner than you can imagine!"

I trained at the school you’re referring to and it is absolutely possible to book out two-lesson blocks.
I went up with multiple instructors during the early phases and learned a lot by doing so because they each provided slightly different perspectives, which I have blended into my own.
My opinion about the time associated with ground checks is they are integral to our training and flying experience, each and every time we fly and they need to be thorough and never rushed. During one of the checks I discovered an issue which led to the plane not going up and we used an alternative.
My advice based on my own experience is: find an instructor you’re comfortable with and book double lessons and agree with them up front what you want to achieve.
