My class started with 24, had five wash out, 2 resign, and one terminated for lying on his application. The two resignations were for a better job and for personal reasons (i.e. wife). Of the 21 who attempted to complete training, 16 succeeded for a pass rate of 76%--Wash-out rate of 24%.

Of the washouts;

-One wasn't even close. He couldn't copy an IFR clearance or find the ground control frequency on a Jepp chart.

-Four struggled with the structure, profiles, call, procedures, etc. but were given a lot of extra training and help from the instructors.
