When I learned to fly, the advice given to me back then was to take your training flights on the same schedule that you will fly when you have your license.

If you are going to fly 4 times a month then you should train 4 times a month. If you are going to fly 6 times a month then you should train 6 times a month.

It's been 20+ years since I got my license, but I believe that is still pretty good advice. Yes it will often be slower and yes it will probably be more expensive, but you will learn the information and it will more likely be embedded into your brain under this type of schedule rather than try to "cram" everything as fast as possible.

My experience has been that students that "cram" the information often forget that information within a pretty short time frame if they don't keep flying under a "cram" type schedule.

So with that being said, there are some folks that believe you should fly at least 2 times a week. I can't disagree with that either.

What you have to do is what works for you based upon your time and economic circumstances.

The one piece of advice that I will give you is to get started. A turtle never moves until he sticks his neck out.
