Yes, as the less cynical have said, good luck!

I take your point on the distraction - just as checking the map, SkyDemon, carb heat etc. all distract you from looking out. We do these things when...

I think a 100 hours requirement for solo quite fair, especially as they will be new conditions for a novice such as myself.
