Started lessons August 2005 and got licence June 2006.
3 days a week booking two slots a day.
Solo around 17 hours.
Total time 53 hours for PPL.
Was originally going for NPPL but changed over to PPL around 40 hours into course.
Quite a lot of booked time not utilised due to poor weather.
Most important to knock the exams off one after another non stop,some students wait around to finish exams before they can do skills test.
Read the books and do the quiz after each chapter.
Used the flying school tutor for an hour before each exam,well worth it!
Also www.airquiz.com is excellent value.

Age 63 ,so quite pleased with my progress for an old 'un!
