Great post

Very interesting. I, originally, was booked to learn to fly with OBA but due to a software project overrun, couldn't get out and opted to do my PPL in the UK.

I've often thought it would be impossible to go from nothing to PPL in 21 days, as promised by OBA. I think, just getting the exams done, in 14 days even with ground school would be difficult enough but maybe possible. Leaving around 7 days to go from 0 -> 45 which would just be insanely difficult.

I guess somebody has done nothing to 45 in 21 days before, but they would be doing nothing else but that 18 hours a day / 7 days a week.

0 to 45 and skills test, does seem possible if you have the exams done, but you must have absolutely worked your butt off to get there. Well done! Not software engineer are you by any chance ? My company is always looking to recruit hardworking chaps like you!
