If this is the case, there shouldn't be a major difference between the
"traditional" method and the "accelerated".

Much has been learned in recent years about the adult capacity to learn and
methods for enhancing adult learning. It has been repeatedly
demonstrated, for example, that cramming for a course ensures short term
results at the expense of long term results. Anybody with a college
education understands why its better to study, consider and digest material
over the course of a term than to cram for everything at the last minute.

I don't see why people think learing to safely operate an aircraft is any
different. If you learn everything in a very short period you simply do not
have time to consider what you have learned, to chew on it and develop
questions and think about the individual things, or to apply them.

We didn't learn to walk in ten days. How in hell can we expect to learn to
fly in the same?
