I can tell you it was better then the flight academy I worked for. You need to come in with all your hour requirements. Lets be honest how long does it take to learn lazy 8's and S turns, only a few hours. All your time on the ground is spent doing ground school which is better then the flight schools I went to and worked at. Im sorry it took you more then 9 days to learn how to fly a few flight maneuvers. I still had to pass my ride which was 7 hours and they don't do any any in house rides. They use who ever is available. One person fly to South Dakota for there check ride and I had to fly to Des Monies for my cfi and Minneapolis for my Commercial. You need to be ready to study around the clock. Its all you make of it its not for everyone. I personally think doing accelerated is better then stretching out information over a few months.

Please tell me why its better to read a training manual over 3 month then 9 days. When I did Instrument at my flight academy you would do ground school for 1 hour a day then fly, and spent the rest of the time going to bars and happy hours. MAI you spend all day and doing ground and your night studying in your hotel.
