What is the usual time block you dedicate for each student's flight?
We do 2 hr blocks. What I've found is the first 30-40 min is filled
with prebrief, preflight, fueling, pulling plane out, and by the time
the 2 hr block is over, only 1.2 - 1.4 is dedicated for flight

I think 90 min is enough initially, but I used to create my own 2 hr blocks
with more experienced students. I found the post flight session to be very
valuable as a student progressed, and that's where the added time filled in.
Of course, you can't get as rapid a turnover through the day, and that's
where most flight schools get nudgy about longer blocks.
