Enough in the same sense that DMV minimum motorcycle training is enough.
Frankly they are not enough relative to the *normal* acceptable risk in recreational activities for typical upper middle class grownups. Most of us don't base-jump or wing-suit either.
That's why GA fatality rates are far higher than for most of the other activities folks like us participate in.
You can of course hold yourself to standards well above the minimum.
