So I want to be a pilot!
After a bit of googling it seems 40-60 hours of training is needed to
obtain Private Pilot's Certificate. I have about two weeks vacation in
July.
---------
QUESTIONs:
---------
1) Is it possible to take lessons 5 hours a day and become a private
pilot in time frame of 2 weeks or so?


Yes, but you will not learn much.

2) If not what's the fastest pace you would recommend?


Two, one-hour sessions per day (one morning, one afternoon/evening)

I am an engineer and am confident of clearing the written exam.


The written test knowledge is not that difficult. Some addition,
subtraction, geometry, graph/chart interpretation.

However I need your advice/comments about the actual flying.


The flying will depend on your hand-eye coordination.
Are you by chance an Industrial Engineer with time-motion studies
background? That would help.
