1st Solo

The idea of having statistics for the average hours pre-solo is a horrendous idea. Already we have a competition between some IR schools that boast of their first time pass rates. Some of these schools no doubt extend the training well beyond what may be reasonal, perhaps much more to protect their statistics rather than reflect the students needs.

Are you being taught thoroughly and safely? The hours are irrelevant. To compete on the basis of hours to first solo could lead to an irresponsible and dangerous regime.

The Tortious and the Hare syndrome also comes to mind.
