Default Tweaking the throttle on approach

That's not the way learning works. If you have the capacity to absorb complex
concepts, you can study everything up front. Essentially learning will be the
product of time and effort. You can learn a given amount using moderate
effort and long time, or using considerable effort and shorter time. The
result is the same. This applies to learning to fly just as it applies to
learning anything else.


And you wonder why you're not making any money in your part-time
teaching gig...

That's not remotely close to the way real learning works. Everything
builds upon what has been learned before...I can't think of a single
example where 'studying everything up front' is a viable means to gain
understanding of complex concepts. The foundation has to be there
first. There are reasons why kids learn to read with books from Dr.
Seuss rather than Dr. Salk, why the first science class offered in
elementary school isn't quantum physics; why you can't go from junior
high straight to med school, why beginner ski lessons aren't taught on
double black diamond slopes... The list goes on and on...but since
you're going to reply without reading or understanding this post
anyway, I'll not waste the words.
