IV - ATTENDANCE POLICY
The
ground school portion of all training is divided into two sections.
The first is classroom and self-study required of the student through
the use of manuals, workbooks, question books and audio visuals
as provided for in the syllabus of training. The second is one-on-one
individual ground instruction with a Certified Flight Instructor
(CFI). These are scheduled at specific intervals within the training
syllabus and are required for course completion.
Section
4.1 Notification
If
a student is unable to attend a scheduled appointment, the school
is to be notified at least twenty-four (24) hours prior to the scheduled
appointment. If the student fails to notify the school as set forth
above, such absences will be taken into consideration when the Director/Manager
determines that a no-show fee should be charged. Students should
make no assumptions that a flight is cancelled due to weather without
first checking with their flight instructor. The continuous cancellation
or cancellation without notice (No Show) of scheduled appointments
by a student will seriously affect progress and performance in a
course. Repeated (approximately three (3)) unexcused absences will
be reported to the Director for advisement. Unless mitigating circumstances
prevail, the Director will charge the student 30 minutes of instructor
time, at the regular rental rates in effect. If continuous lesson
cancellation subsequently occurs, the student will be referred to
the Director for termination of their hard schedule (if applicable)
or complete termination from the program for lack of attendance.
A detailed policy letter regarding this notification procedure is
posted at each base for student review and reference.
Section
4.2 Make-up
Responsibility
for missed work or flight due to absence rests with the student.
Failure to complete course requirements in a timely fashion may
result in course failure, increase in course expenses due to charges
for additional flights or ground instruction, or a lack of knowledge
and experience necessary for the FAA knowledge or practical tests.
The flight or appointment can be made-up by rescheduling with the
appropriate instructor for an additional make-up session.
Section
4.3 Tardiness
The
student should arrive at least fifteen (15) minutes prior to the
flight lesson in order to be completely prepared prior to the scheduled
appointment time. Due to tardiness, the student may be required
to schedule a make-up lesson in order to finish work left incomplete.
Extensions of time for the aircraft or ground instruction will only
be allowed as the schedule permits.
