Somewhere between 10&12 hrs. this time, I seem to recall....
Actually, I was a cheat because I already had around 18hrs (incl. solo) from a financially abortive attempt to work towards a licence 20 years ago. Came back to it last year, went through the whole course and got the licence on 28th Dec..
Syllabus (recent) up to solo encompassed EFATO, PFLs, SSAT, etc., which was extremely reassuring - though the general euphoria (amplified by finally having got back tothe standard I had been at all those years previously) prevented me from thinking too much about them during the solo!
