At this point, it looks as though my progression from zero time to about 20 hours/first solo will have taken about 1 year. At this rate, I can expect to have my certificate in another 1.5 years if I'm lucky. The funny thing here, is that I'm always scheduled to fly twice a week. Maybe I'm wrong, but I feel it really shouldn't be taking over 2 years to obtain a simple private pilot certificate, given my ability to fly twice a week. Besides bad weather, part of the problem seems to be insufficient time spent on each lesson. On average, my lessons usually consist of about .7 hours in the air. Of my 17 hours, only 3 single lessons have actually been 1 hour in length.
Right now, I really don't care. However, if I ever get the PPC, I'll probably want to work towards an instrument rating. However, the factors above are unacceptable. I've seen advertisements that can get you an instrument rating in 1 or 2 weeks if you can commit full-time. This seem like the way to do it.
What does everyone think of these accelerated programs???
