Default First Solo and Total Hours Flown

As you correctly point out, the bulk of being a pilot has to do with
judgment and factual knowledge, rather than motor skills (especially with
current aircraft design...this wasn't always true, IMHO). And frankly, not
everyone is capable of exercising the judgment, nor of learning the factual
knowledge, required to be a pilot.


A coworker was at something like 30 hours before she broke off her training.
She just couldn't get the hang of landing the airplane. She still wants to fly,
and will likely try again sometime in the future. Though I'm not a CFI, I still
want to say that I don't think her problem is judgement or motor skills (unless
somehow she is different in the airplane than on the ground). When she starts
her training again and gets to solo will be a treat.
