The reason for so many hours is that my checkride kept getting pushed back for one reason or another.
There is more here.
Hate to break it to you....you’re already at double the national average for a Private.
If your checkride gets postponed a couple of weeks for inclement weather or aircraft and DPE availability you don’t suddenly have 50-70 hrs more. How much of your 150hrs is solo?
If you continued solo timebuilding then that’s ok.
If you somehow needed that much extra training with an instructor it may indicate a problem. Might be a problem with your vision that has never been identified.
Do you have issues with fine motor skills due to nerve damage? The keyboard/mouse issue is a cause of concern.
I have personally flown with three students that all had vision in only one eye. They all passed Private pilot checkrides in the 45-55hr range.
