No two pilots are alike. Just because I soloed in six hours and twenty five minutes of flight time with an instructor does not mean that anyone else will, ever. This is my best shot at telling you what I have learned and what has worked for me and my students. You need to fly with an instructor you trust, follow his or her advice, and assiduously adhere to all of the rules, regulations and policies that apply to your flying environment. You should take everything that I put into this site, say, or write as pure fiction and ignore it.
