Will I ever go solo?
Hi all,
I am a student pilot with about 36 hours in a Tecnam, aiming for a PPL. I'm on my second flight school now (the first one was a notorious rip-off joint) with about 8 hours at the new school, and I've flown with several different instructors.
The problem is, I am about to give up because I don't see the light at the end of the tunnel. All of the instructors say things like "you're getting there" but there is no indication of if/when I will ever go solo, nor has anyone suggested I take any written exams, etc.
I think 36 hours is a heck of a lot to not even have a GFPT. I have flown with friends (off the record) who can't believe I haven't even soloed yet. My bank account is running dry and I can't afford to keep doing circuits around the same airport for the next 100 years. Could anyone please shed some light on to what is going on? Thanks in advance.
