Default PPL time

I have finished my solo. How long would you say it would take to finish everything. I go up as often as a plane/instructor is available. But I have to go down for football(university) on august 3rd. It is in the States and I live in canada, so i cant get my license while im in school. Should I be able to get done in time? If I dont get done, any advice on what I would do than?

yup august 3rd. Yah Im trying to get times every night during the week(i work all day), and Im trying to go up 2 times each day on the weekend. Only problem is either the planes are busy or my instructor is busy, so im not getting up as much as I wanted.

Like everyone else said, make sure that your instructor knows when you have to be done by. Durring your next ground lesson, make a 'game plan' on how you are going to get done by August 3rd. Write it down on a sheet of paper even. Try not to go up for too many 'fun flights' and stick to your game plan. It will not only save you money, but you might just suprise yourself and get done early

Good luck, and if you have any Q's ask one of the Instructors on here...it's always nice to hear it frome someone else other then your personal flight instructor...

There are some very, very nice and knowledgeable people on this forum. Many have been where you are now and speak from years of experience. They are able to give you a different perspective, which is intrinsically valuable in itself. Best of luck to you.
