Private Pilot License in 10 days!

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...

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???
