I don't think that it's fair to analyse the economics of a commercial full-time training operation on a cost per flight basis (package options also exist). I believe Terry is correct. If you can train uninterrupted for a full week the number of hours/flights to solo would be significantly less than a 'once a week or fortnight' approach in a pure club environment. When you factor in the skills of a full-time instructor it's hard to beat. While the cost per flight is greater, the total cost of training is much less. It's simple; to train for a solid week you have to pay a premium.
Interesting comment.
I'd be interested to know what skills a full time instructor has that a part time instructor does not (or cannot) have.
I can understand that constant practice helps and a full time instructor certainly will have that over a part time instructor, but against this there are very real issues of burn out, becoming jaded etc which are not problems the part time instructor has.
