i dont know if we're talking instrument or privates here... but i got my private in 40 hours... checkride was a breeze.. it can be done...

and the guy who said their students take 70-100 hrs... i'm a little upset because... my instructor would send me home if i didnt come prepared, only happened once, but i got the hint. i hope you're not taking them flying if they havent come prepared, even if they really really want to fly that day. 100 hours for private pilot... is ridiculous... unless they are some sort of "special" students... i'm not bashing you by the way.. i dont know if it sounds like i am... but whats going on in my head makes sense and is just a little ol opinion....

but i do understand if the guy drives a 7 series beamer and just doesnt give a flip... i'd take his money too. =)
