Despite my pass today i am bit sad that it took me 140 two and half time more than average.What are your thought on my issue

Thank you and sorry for bad English

My thoughts are that you have reached the pass standard of a PPL.

If you can stay at that standard, then you'll stay at a standard well above the average of most PPLs. If you can manage even the slowest level of continuous improvement, you'll pull even further ahead of them.

You've achieved something to be proud of - that you took a lot of hours to get there is more a testament to your determination than anything else. If you use that determination to stay at this high standard of achievement, you'll stay a safe pilot.

Well done.
