A normal private pilot student will fly 45 or more hours
getting to the check-ride. But the training can be expanded to include the instrument rating training and be expanded with glider and seaplane if desired. It isn't as if a student will run out of new things to do. -- James H. Macklin ATP,CFI,A&P "Robert M. Gary" wrote in message oups.com... | But having to wait a year between solo and private is a lot of down | time for someone who probably has an enormous number of non-aviation | activities and a very short attention span (pretty much describes all | of us at 15). It might be best to wait until he is old enough to pursue | this activities at his natural pase and not get stopped all the time by | age requirements. | | -Robert | | | Jim Macklin wrote: | You don't "ramp up" for solo or even the private, you ramp | up for a career in stages.
