Default RE: Student Syllabus?

ORIGINAL: Nathan King

You sound like a great instructor. I find our clubs' syllabus woefully inadequate and often add to it. Be careful, however, about making the syllabus too strict. I would recommend giving goals and checkpoints but not ordering teaching to be done a certain way since all students learn differently. Allow the other instructors to account for this.
You ought to talk to the club's Flight Training Director about rewriting that sometime!

Olie Olson wrote it originally, so you might want to update the references to "understanding steam power" and "retrieving your plane with a lamplighter's pole."
