Hi Rude. Thanks, thats interesting and good to hear you've had that experience.
I have been led to believe that I may only spend up to 10 hours of my 45 on a different type other than the one that I use to take my PPL test, do my cross country and come out with a rating on.

There does seem to be an awful lot of misunderstanding/difference of opinions on the rules for PPL.

You don't happen to know of any official legislation that clarifies the situation?

Thanks
