Student pilots must log 50 hours behind the stick in a Diamond Katana
DA20-C1 Falcon aircraft to graduate. Before they only had to have 18 to
25 hours. Graduates receive a Federal Aviation Administration private
pilot license.

I don't know what they mean by "before." We had plenty of the Academy
students at Meadwow Lake and I was told that they had to complete the
requirements for a civil private pilot ticket to graduate. That
would be more than 18-25 hours.
