  1. The amount of flight time and learning varies with each person.

    When I give f light instruction, I usually fly between 20 to 30 minutes with the student per flight and a maximum of 2 flights in one day.

    The reason is that the student is being exposed to a lot of new winformation and after 20 minutes or so he is no longer learning anyhting and I am the one doing the flying.

    The flight times increase as the student becomes proficient and by the time they have around 10 hours, the sessions can be longer.

    After the student soloes, the flights will also be longer since there are cross country requirements and on occasion the student will fly at least 4 hours in one day.

    When I owned a flight  school, the average flight hours for my students when they went for their Private Pilot Check-ride, was 42hours and for the ones who could be at the airport every day, it took them 30 days for all the training including ground school, written exams and their final check-ride.

    Don't try to rush your training or allow your flight instructor to make you fly longer hours than you can comfortably fly and you will be able to notice that if you fly too much on a session, your performance will deteriorate.

    Good luck in your new career.


  2. ideally you would want to do two flights a day weather permitting. each flight would be around 1hr - 1hr15mins. all dual at first until solo then dual followed by solo.

  3. § 61.195   Flight instructor limitations and qualifications.

    A person who holds a flight instructor certificate is subject to the following limitations:

    (a) Hours of training. In any 24-consecutive-hour period, a flight instructor may not conduct more than 8 hours of flight training.

  4. Depends on which part of training are you in.

    Initially more than 2 hours at a time is a waste( as per my ex ex-air force instructor) and that makes sense to me.I split 1 hour in the morning and 1 in the afternoon on very good days of practice on specific areas. Else 1 hour of flying/day and 3-4 hours of study , 2 hours of contemplating on what happened/will happen next day.

    Assuming you fly 2 hours max every day and after that you need to study a lot makes it 60 hours but trust me all days are not the same. 15-20 hours/month is good number  if all things are equal.

    I guess you wanted to know how fast would you complete the course and go for exam/possibly get you ticket.. Well 3 months is good very good number if every thing else goes along with plan and you do your home work well.

  5. In the initial stages of your training, aim for a flight a day. You will learn better without taxing yourself too much. Give yourself a target of between 30-45 hours in the first month. Subsequently, especially after your solo, you may want to put in two flights per day which will give you 60-75 hours per month. Do not rush and try to amass a lot of hours in the initial stages which may be detrimental to your learning.

    Good luck and happy landings.
