I was ready for my test at about 55 hrs, but personal delays have set me back another 10 months. I'm only able to fly every 3-4 weeks so I'm constantly having to fly to get back into things again as the examiner refuses to allow me to take my test if I havn't flown in the 7 days prior to the exam date. So I'm currently at around 67 and should get finished any week now. I'm hoping to do my CPL soon, so all the hours help. My instructor was done at 45, I know some people on 80-90ish. Once you get to about 60, I personally can't think of anything else you need to know or should not be able to do. If you can't pass at that point, maybe take some time off work and fast track the test.....that's why I've book off the whole of Oct.
