Longest time to PPL
Hi,
Just wondering if anyone out there knows of any pilot who took 100s of hours to reach PPL standard? How long did they take? Is there a point where either the student or instructor should say "enough is enough" and walk away? I know 40-50 hours is a minimum and there are a lot of reasons why a student might need more than that but surely there must be a 'cut-off' point? Gaining a PPL shouldn't be a case of 'throw-enough-money-at-it-to-buy-one'.
What do others think? What is the greatest number of hours you've heard of that a student needed to gain their PPL?
