The part of the job you didn't sign up for
Ground prep is where the hours disappear.
You got into this to fly. Arien is being built to take the prep work off your plate so more of the lesson can be in the airplane.
01
Same questions, every new student
You've explained left-turning tendencies forty times. The next student still needs to hear it the same way as the first.
02
Prep eats the night before
Lesson plans, study guides, ACS references — the work nobody bills you for piles up after a full day of teaching.
03
Students arrive cold
Flight time turns into ground review. The lesson doesn't get to be about flying.
