I was there doing my PPL last year October. The weather was no problem at all, a couple of days with showers but the biggest issue for students was wind (some things never change...!), often too strong for first solos. Not too challenging for hour builders.

Last year as a PPL student I flew 50 hours in 3 weeks. I agree that 100 hours in 2 weeks would be ridiculous, I can't believe that someone would do that. Some hour builders were averaging 5 hours/day when I was there last month, but that was including quite some night flying, and seemed like the maximum.

All the aircraft have fire extinguishers now, Jatin & George are spending heavily to rectify the lack of investment by the previous owners.
