Default Flight training, if you had to do it over...

That would represent a normal club weekend. I hope that is the case.

It has been my experience that people starting gliding 'from scratch'
generally progress best if they fly at least every two weeks. Less
frequent flying will generally result in much slower progress.



You misunderstood me. By going flying every two weeks I meant being at
the airfield every two weeks, which at our club means a sequence of
flights (possibly half a dozen - depends on where a student is 'at').

Certainly, most people will progress faster if they attend and fly more
frequently, but that is up to the student to decide: gliding needs to
fit into their life and I cannot make that choice for them.
