macau 6 #2 July 18, 2021 Plus or minus six hours, there is no limit on the number of students, depends on the facilities. More people the longer the course will take since there will be more questions and more people requiring additional explanations. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
riggerrob 558 #3 July 18, 2021 The shortest IAD FJC was 3 hours and all 4 students performed well as they exited the airplane. Larger classes and "slower" students require more time for rehearsals on the ground. Accompanied Freefall FJC usually requires 6 hours because of all the additional tasks the student has to perform. The key is the instructor(s) constantly observing students to confirm that learning is taking place. A few students will never "get" ground school and need to be weeded out quietly. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
