I've just got my PPL ( in fact it turned up last week) and despite the fact I did all my lessons during the week it still took my 13 months, the wait between my QXC and the actual test was 3 months!. If you can only fly at weekends it will be a long haul, all I would say is book everything in advance that you can and as you get a bit more experience maybe do two lessons a day with a break. As one of the earlier posters said get your exams and medical done as soon as possible, with our weather the last thing you want is good conditions and not being able to progress. I'm currently doing my IR(R) as I have a vain hope of using an aircraft as an actual means of getting from A 2 B. I need to get to La Rochelle fairly often which is a total pig by car (12 hours door to door for me) but 2 1/2 by Cessna 182 so if I can make that trip just once I will feel justified ( this is a good example of man maths in extremis). Have fun.
Hey
Congratulations on passing and I think your reason for trying to use it practicality is totally justified!
My school wouldn't let me book two lessons for one day as I'm too new but definitely something for later on
I'm also not against weekday lessons. I could certainly work something out with work. The issue would be that it'd be with a different instructor.
I have around 6 hrs of flying booked in with the same guy but he doesn't work weekdays. Is it a big issue to have a maximum two instructors? Vast majority would be with the weekend guy and odd few with a weekday instructor. Thoughts?
The bookings only go up to June so I've booked as much as I can in full knowledge some will be cancelled by outside problems.
This Sunday looks like the usual cloud and sun for April so fingers crossed it isn't heavy. Its also at 1pm rather than my usual 9am so hopefully any fog will be gone by then!
