45 hours and 35 minutes over 5 months (although the last month was spent waiting for good enough weather to take the Skills Test).
Does that mean you only did 35 minutes flying in the last month while you were waiting?
Did my PPL in 49 hours 30 minutes, over about 18 months i.e. a lesson every week or 2. Would have liked to do it quicker, but couldn't spare any more time from work.
