- AdrianB1 6y agoThen what do you do, transition on a different plane during school? At that point you will need a full 45 hours or more on the second plane, negating the cheaper first plane.
- inamberclad 6y agoNo you won't, there's no requirement to do the 40 hours for a US private pilot certificate in the same aircraft type.
- AdrianB1 6y agoThis is what it takes to learn to fly a plane; if you want to learn to fly 2 planes in the flight school, you cannot do it in the regular 45 hours, it will take you over 60 hours if you are good, over 80 hours for most people.
- inamberclad 6y agoI flew multiple aircraft in the same class and category while doing my PPL and had no problems. At this point there's old enough that's there's nearly as many differences between two C-172s as there are with a C-172 and a PA-28. Yes, it took me more than 40 hours but I blame that on scheduling, not the aircrafts.
