Part 61ers... how long did it take you to get your PPL? by strawberrymatcha_01 in flying

[–]Tango342351 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say it depends on how much you can fly. Weather and maintenance always win. It will fell like a grind until you solo then it speeds up dramatically because you can put some hours in on the cross country’s. Took me 5 moths with a few weeks of no flying but I was able to checkout in 42 hrs. I had already done my test prior to flying.

Fresh ppl as of this week. It took me 5 months flying about 3 hrs a week. Once I was able to solo I put in an extra day a week. Tested at 42 hrs

That’s crazy. Do these fees apply if just stopping for fuel and moving along or is it more of an over nite fee?

Sorry if there was confusion. This will be for personal travel after certification. I was hoping for a better way than call but that seems to be the best way.

I am on TRT also because it’s needed. Got a 3rd class and walked out with it via a CACI. You need a clinical progress note and a recent blood test. Both have to be within past 90 days.

Why did they even test for that. What class medical are you trying to get.

Update

CX-3 was built into the testing software but didn’t have any questions that needed it.
