First Day of ground school
#11
That is funny. When I went through "A" school in the Navy our class was 8 hours long but with a 15 minute break every hour and an hour for lunch it was bad at all. It isn't like we could complain if we didn't like it anyway.

Most of us that attend any kind of formal, structured aviation training (Read: 141) are very eager to learn and retain every thing that is presented to us in the classroom. This leads to actually focusing and paying attention to the instructor for every single second that you are in the class. Four hours per day is quite a bit of information to be presented and to actually try to retain.
But I agree, 4 hours in an aviation classroom is ten times easier/more enjoyable than 8 hours per day (In addition to every thing else that your are doing in a normal 24 hour period) in dry classes presented by military personnel

A 4 hour class really isn't that bad with breaks. The best students review and study prior to a lesson and pretty much already know what is expected from them (both flight and ground school). The better instructors guide the students on what and how to study for the next lesson.

3rd week
So much to learn in such a little time, even though im in class for almost 4 hours every week I feel the hunger for more information, In fact I wish todays class was a little longer. Today we got into what V speeds are and what they are used for. We also started talking about different powerplants. I really can't wait till next week.
