Now I'm totally confused!!!!
I'm using "THE EUROPEAN JAR-FCL PRIVATE PILOT LICENCE COURSE" (red book) issued by AOPA with a copyright date of March 1998.
It has the title of "JAR-FCL AOPA PPL Syllabus" on the front, too.
Page 1 (which is the third page in the book) states...
SUMMARY OF MINIMUM TRAINING HOURS
DUAL SOLO TOTAL
Private Pilot Licence 25 10 45
Night Qualification 3 5 flights 5
(The night flying hours are additional to the 45 hour PPL requirement).
Are you guys telling me that this is no longer the case!!!!!!!???????????
Does everybody agree that the skill test can be flown at the 35 hours stage??????
(This actually makes sense if taken literally...but I have to admit fear for the students who are paying for the course - so forgive me for asking for confirmation).
And...Genghis...the same book quoted above says that the only instrument training required is "sufficient to make a level 180° turn under instrument conditions"...not five hours.
Can you give me a reference or are we both the victims of out of date information.
