You can enhance your knowledge and insight

school. But it's formal and structured.


You can learn on your own. That works well
for getting answers to questions that *you*
thought of. But it limits spontaneity.


No clue as to how to read books, I guess.


Yes Jim Pennino, I have no clue as to how to
read books. *Sure, I went to college on a scholarship,
but still, the enigma of books mystified me the
entire time. There were no buttons, and I never
did find the plug-in cord. Even worse, only one side
of them was actually connected. The other 3
sides just flopped open, rendering them useless.


Typical brainless response.

It is obvious you have no clue what the term "self study" means, how to
do it, or what a CFI will do when you tell him/her you are doing it.


snip babble

In my case, just as I did in college, I memorize the
information ahead of time. This saves ground school
bucks being paid out, because I simply and quickly
answered the questions with each level of advancement.


If you really understand self study and how it works, why were you taking,
and paying for, a ground school at all?


The way that works is this. Even if it's 15 minutes,
(instead of 2 hours) you still get billed for that time.
It goes under the category of ground school, along
with anything else that adds up which doesn't
fall under flying time...as calculated off the Hobbs
meter.

The CFI is *required* to verify that you've learned
enough to continue advancement before you get
the keys to the plane. It's FAA.
