Regarding 3hrs to solo.
I was just perusing my first logbook. It would appear that a chap called Norman Buddin sent me solo after 2:10 of cct training and 7:45 in total - I appear to have survived. (
No, I was never a SkyGod).
It does make me wonder why we now spend weeks getting student pilots to solo standard. Has the standard changed, are people less capable, or are we (instructors) more risk averse?
