It doesn't matter if it takes you twenty hours or 2 to go solo.... You will have far bigger disasters in your early flight training, so really just accept it as the first of many learning experiences...
"It matters...It shows how fast you can learn...The purpose of any training is to complete it in minimum time required,if you go solo in 20+ hours,than what the
have you been doing? Those who had 50 extra hours and are proud of their first time passes make me laugh...Once again,you don't need any kind of talent to go solo early,all you need is hard work"
No Abagnale, that's wrong. If you were in my classroom or in my airplane I would rather you learned it RIGHT in preference to boasting about learning it "right now".
In education, it is well known that the newest thing you learned is the first thing you'll forget.
It isn't a speed contest - if your haste encourages you to cut corners, you die. Take the time to do it right. If it takes a little longer, so be it.
As far as the purpose of any training is to complete it as quickly as possible, that is totally wrong. The purpose of any training is to learn the material properly. If it can be done relatively quickly, fine. If it can't be done quickly, that's fine too - the point is not the SPEED but the QUALITY.
(And I find myself agreeing that the Pprune mission statement seems to be making sure there is a cloud for every silver lining . . .)
