About Acellerated Courses for Private

After viewing this person's website cover to cover and reading what he
has posted here I will only say that even if I were to choose an
accelerated training program, it wouldn't be THIS particular one with
THIS specific instructor! Again, only an opinion.

Hello All!

I am Cliff Manley of Perfect Planes, Inc.
I have trained many pilots in 10 days. I expect them to have done a
home
study course for the written exam before they come. If they need
further
help on any areas they are lacking in, I will give them ground
schooling for
that. I also give them ground schooling for the oral exam.

I do not guarantee a 10 day course, as matter of fact everyone is
different.
I would say that most people do not finish in 10 days, and I assure
you that
I am not so ignorant that I would try to push someone through that is
not
"safe" If someone needs 80 hours, that's what they get!

We do fly every day and I do believe that is the best way to learn
anything.
You can't learn to play an instrument with a one hour a week lesson
and no
daily practice. I don't believe that unless someone is learning
disabled
they need many days to comprehend what I tell them. Ask any elementary
teacher if they teach reading comprehension that way? Do they ask a
student
to read something and them tell them what it meant next week after
they
comprehend it? Get real! I can tell right then if someone understands
through questions, if they don't I will reword it until they do! It's
called
teaching!

The DE's examine my students probably more closely than others, and
would
not pass them if they where not satisfied with their competency. My
pass
rate is about 90% on the first try. The ones that fail are usually in
the
45-60 year old group and get nervous.

I don't have time to answer all of the foolishness I have seen here,
but be
sure of one thing, the students that I teach can fly better and safer
than
most. If you do anything everyday you WILL be better! I do not offer
a 10
day course, I claim only that it can be done in as little as 10 days.
I have
had some students that I think I could have finished in half that.
They were
gifted and did everything right the first time! VERY RARE! But as
much as
some of you would like to believe, flying an airplane is not rocket
science,
it is not really very difficult or FAA would require more than the
average
work week of time to learn it. some of the slow learners take two
weeks
worth of time. The fact is that most people cannot afford the time off
of
work, so they don't have any other choice than to take a lesson a week
and
have to re-learn each time stretching out the process. Some
instructors and
schools actually like that, since they make more money if someone
takes 80
hours instead of 50. Helps pay the light bill so to speak. I just love
to
teach, am not a time builder, but a teacher. I love to see others
enjoy the
gift of flight! I have also flown over 100 young eagles! Kids love it
too!

Anyway have fun guys! I do. If someone learns in 40 or 100 hours, they
are
just as excited to fly!

Cliff
