"Zero to Hero" while splitting time-building

For “Zero to Hero” while splitting the time-building time with another student, reduce the Cherokee/172 rental time from 240 hrs to 180 hrs. Leave every other field as is.

"Zero to Hero", but already have your PPL?

If you have your Private Pilots License, and want to do the rest of the “Zero to Hero” change:

Cherokee/172 = 180hrs (120hrs for split time building)
Instructor = 89 hrs
(Change the Books & Tests section to only include the ratings you want)

PPL or PPL + INST

If you just want your PPL, clear everything and input only:

Cherokee/172 = 60hrs
Instructor = 81hrs

(With recommended Instrument add-on)

Cherokee/172 = 105hrs
Instructor = 116hrs
Simulator = 10hrs
