One of the instructors at the school house told us they want to keep the classes around 25. It allows for the sims not to be bogged down if everyone makes it through ground school. They said they plan on about 4 drops, for various reasons, before sims as an average.


I think our class has had four drops during ground school.

I've heard that the limiting factor beyond the 25ish number was also CTP slots like you said. CTP can only efficiently handle so many numbers. But I don't know what that number is because I was an old school written. So I haven't been to a CTP course.
