I wouldn't have thought it possible. Like you said, it's not for
everyone. It's sort of the antitheses of the JFK Jr. method. :-)

Dead in eleven!

I could see having someone solo in 10 days... but going from ground zero
to a pilots license in 10 days sounds overly optimistic to me.

Granted there may be one or two people that are so exceptionally gifted
so as to consume, understand and apply all of the aeronautical knowledge
necessary in 10 days.... but the majority of people won't.

I dont buy it. How can you get the necessary experience required? Maybe
10 days to solo and pass the written, but to have your PPL - seems a bit
much!

....and criminally irresponsible to me.

I prowled around the web site and found this page -
http://www.perfectplanes.com/about_nn4.html

This provides the costs for the minimum FAA flight time (40 hours) and the claim that
their students are averaging 48 hours. They say it can be done in "as little as ten
days." The footnote at the bottom of the page says the cost does not include ground
school, the exam, or the checkride.

I would bet that that 10 day deal includes only the 40 hours of flight time and does
not include study for the written.

In Idaho, tossing a rattlesnake into a crowded room is felony assault.
In Tennessee, it's evangelism.

That would make a lot more sense!

I just can't imagine going from zero hours to flying 4+ hours a day, ten
days straight, excluding all the pre- and post-flight instruction and
review, without melting down. A person could learn the mechanics of flying
an airplane, (in whatever weather and other conditions exist in that ten-day
period) but I sure wouldn't stake my life or the lives of passengers on it.

I got the same offer for IFR-in-ten-days. 75% through my IFR training right
now, 155 hours logged, and there's just no way. And I already know how to
fly the airplane, triangulate positions with VOR radials, talk to ATC, land
in a crosswind, etc...

Exactly. My response was going to be "Pilot at ten, news at eleven."
