FF.. Nicely said.
For AOPA to qoute a 32hrs requirement is a deception and a lie.
The simple fact is that very very few PPL students would even be ready at 40 hrs and as we know most require 50 - 65hrs.
This seems even more cock-eyed than JAA !!!!!
Let us have a competition to guess when the new system produces a well trained pilot in 32 hrs !!!! Next year...... 2004.....2008 ???????
