This saves ground school bucks being paid out, because I simply and quickly answered the questions with each level of advancement. If you really understand self study and how it works, why were you taking, and paying for, a ground school at all? The way that works is this. Even if it's 15 minutes, (instead of 2 hours) you still get billed for that time. It goes under the category of ground school, along with anything else that adds up which doesn't fall under flying time...as calculated off the Hobbs meter. The CFI is *required* to verify that you've learned enough to continue advancement before you get the keys to the plane. It's FAA. Nope, the CFI is required to certify that you are ready to take the knowledge test. That has nothing to do with "the keys to the plane". -- Jim Pennino Remove .spam.sux to reply. |

If you aren't up to speed, they aren't following the rules towards your certification. If they do give you the keys, then you're basically just going for a joy ride outside of the program. --- Mark |

How did you access USENET in the early days that would enable you to know of anything that went on then? Look in the archives. The archives don't go back that far. How do I know that? Simple, I searched for stuff I posted way back then. -- Jim Pennino Remove .spam.sux to reply. |
