I work full time although as it is shifts, I have plenty of time to get my flying in.
I planned on doing it as quickly as possible and have sometimes managed 2 lessons in a day but since I started in late march, I have managed to notch up 28 hours.
Weather has defeated me a couple of times, unscheduled maintenance a few more, and instructor availability on others.
I had hoped to be done by the end of summer but its not looking likely at this stage.
Other than that, I am having a blast and if the truth be known, I am enjoying it more because I am looking forward to each lesson that bit more and enjoying every second airborne immensely.
Looking back at some of the other comments re car drivers etc etc, my ground school teacher and flight examiner has never driven a car in her life as she considers them dangerous objects.
She also enjoys flying Tiger Moths.
You cant draw parallels between the two.
