That is as sad as making people do ten hours plus to solo.
Or five hours for an aerobatic rating in a C150 or Citabria! Just think how many barrel rolls, stall turns, loops, rolls of the top and slow rolls you can do in five hours. A rip off as usual.
With upright spins and recoveries from unusual attitudes (failed aerobatic manoeuvres) it consistently takes 7 lessons for spin and aerobatic endorsements. Including revision to ensure that key things stick (although I wonder if some really know about PARE some months later). Busy airport with transit to the aerobatic area will take 7 hours. Some lucky people may be somewhere such that it can be done in 5 hours.
At a small airfield some instructors I know have recently been sending younger people solo in about 5-6 hours in an aircraft type with characteristics similar to the old Piper Colt.
