TC PPL flown in Canada. 60 Hours ... i did have a 6 month gap in between though or it would have been a few hours less. I couldnt get the time off work to do the whole thing in one go but it was fun... i got to meet a load of really nice people and saved rather a lot of money.

Not to say anything bad about training here... its just a bit expensive. I lived on site out there and it was excellent

Solo at 13 hours
X-Countries somewhere in the late 40's
The brush up for the skills test
Written test at around 50 hours. Although i would have loved to have got that out the way a lot faster.

It varies a lot i think on skill, time, situation, weather and pilot attitude. There was a guy i knew who was cracking onto 45 hours and had not even flown his solo yet
