Question

Hour Requirements for RPP? (Ground, Flight, Dual, XC, Solo)

a) Specifics may vary based on program
b) Uniform hour distribution for all pilots
c) RPP does not have hour requirements
d) Ground hours exceed flight hours

Answer 1

The hour requirements for a Recreational Pilot Permit vary by program but generally involve a mix of dual instruction, solo flight, and cross-country flying. Ground school hours are less than the flight hours required for the permit.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question pertains to the hour requirements for the Recreational Pilot Permit (RPP), which in the field of aviation, can vary by the specific program a student is enrolled in. Typically, the RPP requires fewer hours than a Private Pilot License (PPL). While the exact requirements may differ slightly from one country to another, in Canada for example, the RPP requires a minimum of 25 hours of flight time, which is broken down into:

• 15 hours of dual instruction (with an instructor)
• 5 hours of solo flight time
• 2 hours cross-country flight time

In general, the ground school hours will be substantially less than the flight hours and the specifics of ground instruction will depend on the flight school's program. The distribution of hours is not uniform for all pilots because everyone learns at a different pace and might require more time in certain areas, particularly if they are training at different schools with different programs and resources.
