Tip: Keep training consistent

Dan Vandermeer submits this “simple tip to help keep flight training consistent: I advise student pilots to routinely schedule three lessons ahead.

The most common reasons training sessions are cancelled are:

1. The student or CFI has a last minute schedule conflict;
2. The weather is not good;
3. The aircraft has a mechanical/avionics problem.

Just a few cancelled lessons can be discouraging to the student and rescheduling can require time-consuming communications.

But if a lesson is cancelled and another has been already scheduled, the training can continue as already planned.”
