Default 2nd Lesson

Does your instructor use a syllabus, and provide you with a copy? Hard to
tell from where I am sitting, but it seems to me that you are being pushed
into things you are not ready for. Successfully, apparently, but the key to
flight training is the building block concept, where each new maneuver
depends on a foundation of basic elements learned and mastered earlier.


It may be a business decision. Students are more likely to continue
their studies if they do things that are interesting. If the boring
stuff is saved for last, not only are they likely to pay for more
lessons, even if they eventually quit, but they are more likely to put
up with the boring stuff later, if they've already invested a lot of
money in lessons. If the boring stuff comes first, some students may
give up right there, which brings about quite a loss of revenue.

As long as everything is covered eventually, does the order make a
difference?
