Hi Andre,

Long time no see! I think it is a simple answer. It think it really
depends upon the student. One answer does not fit all students. If the
instructor knows the student, you might ask the instructor. You might
also get input from one of the students academic teachers, combine that
with some knowledge of the young man's coordination and motivation. My
guess is that if it is the "MOST PLEASURE", it will also be the "BEST
RESULTS". If you know him, what is your guess? If you love him, trust
your heart.

There is one student and one instructor.
The student took gliding theory course, than he prepaid whole practical
course which includes min. 30 dual flights on tow to 500m, than he has
to make 10 solo flighst on tow to complete training required to get 3
seagulls badge of glider pilot.

The conditions are perfect, 18 years old student has summer vacation,
student and instructor have unlimited time for each other,
Both live 5 minutes from airport , open every day, weather is good,
they have choice how often to fly.

Million-dollar question is: at what frequency student should fly for
BEST RESULTS and MOST PLEASURE.
(Since we do it only once in our life, should we make it last and do it
in 2 months, not in 10 days?)

They can do required 30+10 flights in 10 days, or they can do the same
thing in 3 months doing about 15 flights per month, that is one flight
every other day.

I am asking what is best for the student, what is the best frequency of
flying lessons.
Is it one flight every other day? One flight every day? two flights
every day? two flights every other day? four flights every day ??
Etc... What is best?

Another question. If there is a plateau in learning, how many days
break from flying do you recommend, or how to deal with that problem?
