My training was very broken that was over a 4 year period,approx 10 hrs then a year brake another 10 ish hrs 18 month brake and recovery from a smashed leg, so i could effectively say i then started again from scratch, i then went solo after 10 Hrs. so i had logged 30 hrs in over 4 years to solo, i used to be embarressed by that as it seems alot but when broken down and skill fade factered in its no so bad and i could posiblyargue i went solo in 10 hrs form when i restarted as the brake was so long.
I then went state side for 2 weeks got as far as first solo X _country, weather of all things lost me 5 days, A/C availability 2 days so never got to complete X Country qualifier or sit skills test, returned to the UK, no money left
and haven't flown in 4.5 yrs,
one day will eventually finnish i hope.
