Vern didn't actually say that he can only fly ONCE every two weeks.
If that is the case, it will indeed be a challenge to complete the license in a reasonable amount of time. If he can get in a few flights during a flying week, then he has to skip a week due to travel or work schedules, it won't be quite as bad. Something I've found useful as a low-hours student pilot who gets to fly about once a week (weather limitations, mostly) is to write down detailed notes about the intangible stuff I learn on each flight. Not just facts learned, not just things related to ground school or the upcoming knowledge test, but my perceptions and recollections of the flight. What does the sight picture over the nose look like during a proper climb-out? Where was the seat adjusted, since this affects the sight picture? How was the sensation felt in an uncoordinated turn different than what I felt in a coordinated turn? How much control input did I feel I was using for a give maneuver? What feedback was I getting from the instructor at various points in the flight? It all gets written down, and I review it before the next flight. I find it makes the preceeding flight(s) fresher in my mind, and it helps minimize the effects of going a week or so without flight time. |
