Re: Light-Sport Aircraft Yahoo group Wants to fly

I'm a subpart H instructor and can speak from experience when I say that
it its not the instructor, but FAA requirements, that causes it to
generally take at least 40-60 hours to finish the requirements and bring
most student to PTS standards for a private. All good instructors, K or
H, try to keep their students moving through the training syllabus at as
fast of rate as they can absorb the material. If you had problems with
an individual instructor, that was because of the individual, not the
FAR part under which they were certificated.

We've graduated 0 time sport pilot students in as little as 25 hours. I
just graduated an 80 year old grandpa with over 200. Most people are
somewhere in between, although people younger than 80 are generally much
closer to the 25 hour mark than the 200 hour mark! Each person learns
at their own rate and it is the mark of a good instructor, K or H, to
be able to "read the student" and set that pace appropriately.
