continue or not?

finish!!!!!!!

If you quit now you will be spend much more money trying to finish your ppl. I am by know means an expert instructor, but from my experience many students seem to reach a plateau in their training. For some its pre-solo and for others its cross countries or short and soft field landings. If your feeling frustrated with your progress don't be, I read in a magazing a while back that the average total time for ppl is up to something like 65-75 hrs. If your instructor says your ready, your ready. No cfi is going to sign some off to go solo if their not ready.

Keep flying,

I agree with everyone else here. Go ahead and finish. How long has your instructor been telling you that you were ready to solo? Remember that you will not be expected to make great landings at this stage in your training. You are only expected to fly the plane safely and get it on the runway in one piece without bending any aluminum. And don't even sweat the stage check. Like V-1 mentioned, it's more a check on your instructor than a check on your abilities. The check instructor just wants to make sure that your instructor hasn't missed anything. I can't tell you how many students i've had to practically push into the airplane for them to solo. It is natural to be nervous and think that you aren't ready for it. You really have to trust your instructor and your abilities. No instructor with half a brain would let you solo if he/she didn't think you were ready. Everyone has a bump or two in their training. It sounds like you have gotten to yours. Just dig in and go forward. Who knows, you may breeze through the rest of your training after you solo.

Another thing to consider is your relationship with your instructor or instructors. You wan't to make sure that the two of you have a good relationship. You don't have to be best friends, but you should feel comfortable with him/her and be able to talk with them about any problems or concerns you may have. A bad student/instructor relationship can lead to lengthy training and added cost. If this is the case, talk to the school manager or chief pilot. They know the importance of a good realtionship and should understand your concern, as should your instructor. They should be able to get you a new instructor. This isn't unheard of, so you don't have to worry about it being any trouble. Now if you are constantly changing instructors, that's another story.

Best of luck!
