The length of your flights (and all aspects of your training schedule) will be determined by your instructor...not you.
Depends on the instructor and student surely...this was true when I began, but now, many's the time when my instructor asks..>"right, what do you want to do today then?!" Obviously he has final veto/choice etc but more often than not, if he asks me this, we'll go with what I fancy!!

our CFI said that on average, a PPL took 18 months to two years to achieve.
Does he have any figures for that? Not saying he's wrong as they may indeed be the average figures but it seems an awful long time.
Hi Thing, if you knew who our CFI is (well, actually, maybe you do!!!) you wouldn't argue with him But so far he's been correct in my case...practically two years training and no where near skills test yet...
