Yes, it is 100 hours ... they are perfectly legal.

I was talking about the fact that some schools choose to have a 50 hours inspection. I think that's the smarter way to do it.

Did my PPL flying the six pack (part 61) ... I like it much more than the G1000. Don't get me wrong, I like some of the features of the G1000 but I think there is too much automation, and too many buttons to push ... it kinda takes the fun out of it.

I am convinced that there are some nice FBOs out there ... but I didn't find any (within 1 hour drive).

I understand that the PTS standards are the same ... I am hoping that I will go past the PTS because I am getting the feeling that the PTS is just average.

I am not talking only about the flight training, I am also talking about the ground school part of it.

P.S. Another reason for it is because I've been flying for 4 years (3 part 61, 1 part 141) and I only have 110 hours. Part of it is because of money (I worked my way through it) and part of it was because of the lack of instructors, flight school bankruptcy and the selling of the flight school to the highest bidder (that happened to be an *******) .
