Hi Martin 123
I am not sure that it is rushing a PPL. It is getting some continuity. I learnt to fly at Clacton in Sept 1991 in a Supercub but also flew the C152 for the Nav part of the PPL. It took 3 weeks and 44 hours. We were lucky with the weather. If I had learnt on the odd weekend over say 18 months then it would have probably taken me 80 hours and I may have lost interest. Who knows?
Having said that I accept that people may not have the time off work to do that and that it would not suit everybody. Indeed if I had not been lucky with the weather then I may have only got 20 hours I 3 weeks.
