A PPL course is 45 hours.
Semantics but the point I'm making is that 45 hours is the
minimum required to qualify - a point I make to all students I teach right at the beginning of their training.
Very few students qualify within 45 hours as it depends on their ability, the weather and other factors.
In fact the 45 hours minimum is prior to skills test and typically the test takes getting on for 2 hours.
