I’m going for one or two lessons per week (sometimes more) and working full time. I can only have a max of 2 lessons a day and 10 flying hours per week, which I’ve opted not to do yet. That’s prescribed in the trainers ops manual as the absolute limit. I’m enjoying the pace, going over what I’ve done and reading what we’re doing next. (I had already studied all of the PPL material prior to stepping into a plane).
I’ve had a few instances where I haven’t flown for 2 weeks and it shows, it’s amazing how quickly you can forget things. Partly because of availability and some weather issues cancelled some lesson. I’d recommend a minimum of a lesson per week, I’d even try for more.
I have been told ME/IR & CPL is 15 weeks Mon-Fri and that’s compulsory, I’m working on a creative use of my annual leave to cover some of that. Hopefully spanning two separate leave years and maybe some unpaid leave, but I’ll be there. Whatever it takes.
SE I assume he means single engine, PPL and hour building stages.
