Private Pilot License in 10 days!

"kontiki" wrote in message news:LnAGc.21

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.

....and criminally irresponsible to me.

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!

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...

I'm admittedly slower than most, but it took me two weeks to just complete the
four cross-countries (dual day and night and short and long solo). It takes a
while to just learn how to select a route and to plan and map them out, let
alone the time to make each flight and debrief afterward to understand and
apply what was learned to the next one. From start *to finish* in 10 days ...
how could you possibly have enough time to study on your own time when not
flying AND get enough SLEEP to stay sharp enough to learn and remember all
there is to learn at that extremely accelerated rate? Are we talking about your
average human here???

I think all that place dose is sign them off for the practical test and then
offers them a choice of DE's ranging from $150 to $500 and ill bet that they
are inbed with the $500 DE to make sure every one passes on the second check
a quick way for them to make $1,000 x 3 to 4 suckers a month you do the
math.

These are my opinions only!

Imagining going up to an FAA examiner for your PPL flight test and
telling him you just started flying 10 day's ago. I loved to be around to
see the look on his face.

Just as long as the response isn't "hey; so did I!".

I got mine in two days!

(48 hours / 24 hours per day = 2 days)
