I beg to differ Robert, I think anyone could be prone to the same problems be a weekend instructor or a full time instructor,with the exception being a full time instructor will probably have better skills at communicating to students,because they are doing it more often.. cheers JR ----- Original Message ----- From: "Robert Hart" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Discussion of issues relating to Soaring in Australia." <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, February 28, 2006 9:23 AM Subject: Re: [Aus-soaring] sportavia

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
