Hi,

Im looking to start my PPL training down on the South Coast of the UK next month. I'll be doing this full time, i was wondering what sort of duration I could expect. I fully understand that this is dependant upon things such as the weather and not least my abilities. However I was wondering if 3 months would be a good ball park figure. Im heading overseas for a few months in October and it would be nice to have this under my belt.

Thanks

Why you going to the south coast for good wx? The viz is crap down there.

The quickest I got someone through full time in Inverness was 2 weeks but he was quite gifted at doing exactly what he was told and arrived with all his exams out the way.

3 weeks is do able but hard, work 4 weeks proberly more sensible, 5 weeks perfect.

I used to teach in the south, and as long as there is not constant fog for 3 months ;), it is definately possible.

My first 2 students were full time and they were done and dusted in 8 weeks.

Enjoy your training.

The exams are the big thing and how hard you are prepared to work .. doable

Not quite right with that time frame Cat 3C. I believe one of them overflew so subsequently "failed"
