I went solo at around 10 hrs and thought the instructor was dragging it out (God was I dumb and full of myself).
The best I ever saw as an instructor was a 17 year old who was shaking so much on his first flight I thought he was going to pass out.I was only a grade 3 so had to ask a fellow grade 2 to asses
this guy for his solo.He was ready at
3 HOURS and I flew with him till 4 hours to be absoloutely sure.The guy that I asked to check him was rather abusive when I put him up but came back after 0.8 mumbling something about freaks.
I am not stretching the truth when I say that this young fellow was more in command of an aircraft at 4 hours than many I have seen at 30 hours.
And before you ask, NO! this guy was a genuine 4.8 hours to solo pilot.
By the way speaking of Bruce Hartwig flying school, Does the blonde poisoned dwarf still own it?
