I would bet that that 10 day deal includes only the 40 hours of flight
time and does
not include study for the written.

I just can't imagine going from zero hours to flying 4+ hours a day, ten
days straight, excluding all the pre- and post-flight instruction and
review, without melting down. A person could learn the mechanics of flying
an airplane, (in whatever weather and other conditions exist in that ten-day
period) but I sure wouldn't stake my life or the lives of passengers on it.

I got the same offer for IFR-in-ten-days. 75% through my IFR training right
now, 155 hours logged, and there's just no way. And I already know how to
fly the airplane, triangulate positions with VOR radials, talk to ATC, land
in a crosswind, etc...
