Hi Morrisman, would the flight really only be 30 mins? I'm guessing it takes as long as it takes for the instructor to be happy with your competancy?
My rating flights in the PA28 was about 3 hours all up.
that is the legal minimum, of course its probably longer, I would imagine it would be long enough to go out do stalls, slow flight, steep turns then back for 5 circuits. That should really be the absolute minimum but the law says 30 minutes flight time as the minimum.
Expect a couple hours. The better prepared you are in terms of flight experience and knowledge of the aircraft systems before the flight the quicker you will do it in.
Remember you require 5 hours on type before you can operate it on a part 135 air operation and 10 hours for a twin.
