I’m in the middle of getting my ppl. I’m not sure if I’m getting very good training or not. I’ve flown several times with this CFI and am doing fine. This is mostly since I had flown several years back and it’s been mostly a review.
I’ve noticed that there are long pauses in the airplane with no instruction going on. When the airplane is in straight and level flight for example. This can be a significant portion of the flight as we are heading to a practice field or heading back to the airport.
I just feel as if there’s enough to learn about flying that the instruction should be continuous. That 15-20 mins or so of silence during an hour of flying is around $70 I’m spending with this CFI.
I suppose I should always come prepared with questions to keep the instruction flowing. Any thoughts?
