If it wasn't this tough, virtually anyone apart from criminals and the like would be able to join what is a very exclusive club. Just look at the types that frequent Goodwood, Shoreham and Stapleford- Sports jackets, cravats and expensive slip on shoes (White plastic shoes only at Stapleford
). Just think, even actors, TV celebrities and footballers would be learning to fly if it was that easy.... And also, if it was really easy, people would be learning to fly, then buying a GPS and getting into all sorts of scrapes infringing controlled airspace etc without learning a fairly complicated set of navigation puzzles to arrive at their destination without sweating about it.
Personally, I think that if you have proved that you can learn to drive a car, then you should be given a plane license because the two things are very similar
Seriously though, enjoy it
