The military does do some preliminary ground training at first, as it should be; some theory, some practical. Do your research and you will find the military school coorelates the theory with practice; which is the way it is recommended in all books on education theory and practical experience.
And I am speaking from many years of practical experience.
Yes, it is 'common wisdom' to do the written first, but that comes from, as you said, (flight schools are in the business to make MONEY on the training) and it is convenient to do flight and ground as a seperate animal, so that's how it has evolved, but, the OP was asking for information upon which to make a decision. I gave him my opinion, from my personal long-time experience of obseving the process. |
Well, I have yet to see any evidence that your method actually provides an applicant that truly understands the theory, at least, certainly no better than anyone that learned the theory before flying..
Your comment on airline training has been addressed already.
