Optimal Frequency of Lessons
Just coming off my latest aero flight just over a week ago with Mr.
Stowell, I've decided that I want to take advantage of the momentum and start a more formal course fairly soon. I think I have an instructor nailed down. My plan is to start with a 5-10 hours course, spread out over several months. But here are the issues. The airport is about 70 miles away from where I live, but only about 19 miles from my girlfriend. This makes it convenient to some extent, but her house is on the market and I want to take advantage of her location before she sells. I know there is a benefit to flying as much as possible to increase tolerance, but I would like to spread it out over a few months as I tend to retain things longer if I acquire them more slowly. But I would also like to get as much time before the hard NJ winter arrives, as the airport has a grass strip. I'm thinking twice a month, with the possibility of both Saturday and Sunday, weather and schedule permitting for the first few sessions. Would like to hear some ideas. I would also continue to fly casually, particularly with the goal of remaining IFR current. Dave |
