"While Marko went to a professional flight school where he said he became certified to fly in 43 hours, he said most recreational pilots will need at least 80 hours in the pilot seat before they take the Private Pilot exam. Pilots need a minimum of 40 hours of flight time to be eligible for the test."

He seems a little arrogant to say that because these students didn't go to a "professional flight school" that most will need 80+ hours to get their PPL. Maybe he is just a bad instructor???
