Default local flight training

Hello pilots,

I am a european CFI, and would like another perspective about flight training.

Here a couple of questions:
1) in a professionnal flight school, how long your students may fly everyday (maximum hours for exemple) and how long they actually fly ?

2) during the first lessons (climb, descent, etc), how do you organise this in US airspace ? seems there are a lot of B airspace class if Im not wrong... do you fly from A to B, or just a local flight near the departure airport ? what altitude do you chose generally ?

thanks a lot,
greetings

1. Aircraft for 2 hrs and instructor booked for 2.5 hr block. 15-18 min briefing, 12-15 min preflight, 1.5 hr engine run time or block time.
15-18 min taxi and runup.
Leaves 1.2-1.3 flight time with 46-50 min effective training of maneuvers in the practice area.
Then 15-30min debrief and task assignment.
Twice a day.

2. Depends on training big airport location. Only like 15-20 Class B in the entire country which is bigger then Europe.
Besides you can do all if this and stay below Class Bravo as most of it is not down to the surface.
