HFD,
I don't know if i was typical (some would say I was very average
)but I think I was within a couple of hours of the programmed syllabus.
When I was cleared for solo aeros I had a TT of 29hrs30min of which 9hrs 30 was GH/Spinning in preparation for and including the Independant Spin/Aeros check.
However whenever you flew solo you would only be cleared to carry out any manouever solo, which you had carried out Dual in the previous 30 days, I think you also had to have flown a dual trip (of any kind) in the previous 9 days (the memorys a bit hazy now), so the currency requirements were a LOT stricter than those for ppl's. (And I am not trying to start a mil: civvie fistfight
)
Incidentally what (if any) are the currency requirements for ppl's before solo aeros, are thay any different from normal currency rules??
