I'm admittedly slower than most, but it took me two weeks to just complete the
four cross-countries (dual day and night and short and long solo). It takes a
while to just learn how to select a route and to plan and map them out, let
alone the time to make each flight and debrief afterward to understand and
apply what was learned to the next one. From start *to finish* in 10 days ...
how could you possibly have enough time to study on your own time when not
flying AND get enough SLEEP to stay sharp enough to learn and remember all
there is to learn at that extremely accelerated rate? Are we talking about your
average human here???
