I beg to differ Robert. A club with not enough part time instructors, will also see "burn out" with these same people. In fact burn-out can be the result of just getting tired of your CFI !! You don't think instructors get "jaded" with training ???????? You are kidding ....yes?

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. -- Robert Hart [EMAIL PROTECTED] +61 (0)438 385 533 http://www.hart.wattle.id.au _______________________________________________ Aus-soaring mailing list [email protected] To check or change subscription details, visit: http://lists.internode.on.net/mailman/listinfo/aus-soaring _______________________________________________ Aus-soaring mailing list [email protected] To check or change subscription details, visit: http://lists.internode.on.net/mailman/listinfo/aus-soaring
