Schedule for 2008

Classes/courses are scheduled to maximize your learning curve. In the past I have tried various ways to accomodate the aspiring pilot and have come to the following conclusion.

• A concentrated focus on the learning curve is far superior to the once and awhile approach.
• The concentrated approach produces pilots with a higher degree of skill development and of safety awareness.
• Students like this approach.

To accomodate this we offer two block options

• The solid week - 7-8 days straight depending on weather conditions
• 4 X 4 - Typically a Friday - Monday block followed by three days off and the Friday - Monday block again. This allows the student to either recover aching muscles or to keep the boss happy. Of course it gives you time to reflect on your approach and to absorb all the information too.

This year I have set typical course days from May through September. There is time built into the schedule to allow you to catch up, if necessary, due to bad weather.

Scheduling Tandem Flights is usually a matter of fitting into the schedule. There are lots of free days.
