PPL Hours - Question.
G'evening all,
I've got a question about the amount of hours I've done before getting the PPL.
Basically, I had a lay off in between training and had to get back in the swing of things so I needed to do quite a bit of extra flying. I also have, in my opinion, an instructor who likes to take his time in getting students going solo/ X-country etc.
As a result of this by the time I finish the course I think I'll have about 70 or so hours under my belt (I've got 40 at the mo). Is this fact going to matter to employers etc in the future?? I often hear people (rightly) boasting they got through in minimum hours and wonder whether it really makes a difference in a pilots career. Its a shame that often it can be down to the instructor/school and how quickly they get a perfectly able student to get through the course.
Any thoughts would be much appreciated.
Cheers,
SB22
