QUESTIONs:
---------
1) Is it possible to take lessons 5 hours a day and become a private
pilot in time frame of 2 weeks or so?
2) If not what's the fastest pace you would recommend?
I am an engineer and am confident of clearing the written exam.
However I need your advice/comments about the actual flying.
Thanks in advance,
Gen


It may be possible but you will not be well trained, and you will not have
any practical experience. As an engineer you should be able to make good
choices about what is possible and what is practical. Be safe! Any accident
you may have reflects on everyone, and we all pay insurance.

Your whole premise begs another question: With so little time to train, how
do you expect to find the time to fly? If you have the time to fly a few
hours a month, that schedule is better for your training also. JMO.

I don't think he said he doesn't have time to fly, I just think he has some
extra vacation time and was wondering if he could get most of his training
done during that time.
