How Many Hours did it take you?

[Somedaymaybe]

Just purely a Question, so I can take a look at the rest of the country, and see how other fellow students did.

How long did it take you in hrs to complete your PPL?

(Including skills test and the rest)

SDM

[The Greaser]

Fifty Four - FAA PPL

[YYZ]

45.1.

Might of been better putting this question under "Private Flying" though?

YYZ

[Sky Wave]

45hr 05mn Lucky the skills test wasn't 10 minutes shorter!

[cjam]

Fifty five I think....it doesn't mean a thing tho, Chichester took that long to go solo and was one of the finest and most respected pilots/navigators of all time.

[High Wing Drifter]

JAA - 47 hours and 57 minutes all in over six months.

Don't put this under Private Flying unless you want to be hung up on a meat hook and left to cure whilst they decide what to serve you up with

[HomerJay]

Had the PPL on the button 45.0

[Sensible]

45.6 hrs in the USA within a 3 week time frame - can't easily be done in the UK though! - Got the license in three weeks, but been practising for some few years since and still not perfected the art!

[Foz2]

45 hours on the nail for the course and then 1.7 for the test. I took 5 months from November to March.

[PilotOnline]

45.1 hrs for the training and about 1.8 for the test over exactly 12 months...because I jinx the weather in the UK every time I have a plane booked!

[Piltdown Man]

16 hours, but it took six months - the weather was rubbish! (A Silver C from gliding reduced the legal minimum to something like 11 hours dual and three hous solo - but omitted the tests.

[Megaton]

CAA PPL 40 hrs 35 mins. Grrr what a waste of 35 mins!

[Blinkz]

16hrs from a Silver C? how you manage that? or is it a NPPL? the JAA PPL will only credit you 10 hours towards your PPL.

I really don't see the relevance of this question, or am I missing something?

Human interest. Nothing wrong with that

[Whipping Boy's SATCO]

38 - in the days where the requirement was 38.

[cosworth211]

48hrs, completed over 5 months, while studying also at university.

Hows about average exam scores?

Mine was 98.5% or something.

[Blinkz]

Sorry for causing any upset Like High Wing Drifter said I was just curious.

I myself have just passed my skill test (yesturday!) and did it in 61hrs 15mins. It would have been less but I got a partial the first time so had to spend another 3-4 practicing my emergencies lol.

Exam success was something like 98% as well.

[Gillespie]

got mine in 45 hours within 1 month of damn hard work!

[Dude~]

Are we talking PPL exams or ATPL exams?
