some 75% of new PPLs expire with less than 10 hours flown after getting the PPL, and about 90% stop flying before their first renewal (i.e. within 2 years)
How sad is this?

Has anyone researched the reasons why PPLs give up so soon, after spending all that money and effort on getting a licence?

I assume that most Ppruners, on the Private Flying forum, are the other 10% who have carried on flying. So is there anything that we can do to encourage new PPLs to continue?
