Hi Andre.
I said 4 flights per weekend.
In any case I am not an expert on flight training.
38 year ago I received my private power ticket.
I just looked it up, it took two Month, well actually three,
we could not fly due to very bad January in the middle of a
Canadian Winter.
My glider endorsement took 12 flights and three weekends.
I spend a lot of time on the flight line that Summer. I observed,
the new Students could not get enough training flights.
(they wanted more then 2 flights a day). I also noted, that the students
that flew only once a day and came back a week later never quite
got it and fell by the way side in the end.

I am talking about maximizing pleasure of flying, maximizing what
student will get out of each flight, maximizing progress of student in
process of learning.
Does it make sense to give a student 4 flights in one day, or is it
better to have one lesson every 2-3 days? (airport operates every day
of the week)
Should the student be given 1-2 days time to digest each flight, think
about it, and analyze it?
When weather gets good again after 5 days of rain should this student
be allowed to make 3-4 flights in one day, or is it wasting of his
money because he does not have time to digest or analyze his
experiences, and his progress may suffer?
Based on our experience is it better for the student who loves flying
very much to do the course in 2 weeks time (5-7 flights a day), or is
it better to do the same course in 3 months ( 15 flights per month).
If you are 18, have limited money, just enough to prepay the course,
would you then fly intensely for 2 weeks or would you want to enjoy 3
months metered flying just to make it last longer. What is better for
the student?
What is the best frequency of flying lessons?
