However, it not about hours - its about when you are ready!
Very true bur 'ready' is somewhat variable in different establishments. Some schools/instructors seem to have a more cautious definition of 'ready'.

What do some of you instructors look for when determining 'ready'?

E.g.

Good weather - crosswinds, cloud etc
Traffic - wait till there's at least 8 in the circuit all on different runways, going in different directions - Candem when the tower is closed (not that it ever is now ) is a great place to for a first solo.
3 or more consistent dual circuits?
