in reality thats kinda how it is, you cant skip basic flight instruction in a simple fixed wing irl
Flight Time Requirements: You must accumulate a minimum amount of flight time, including:
At least 40 hours of flight time, which must include:
20 hours of flight training with an instructor.
3 hours of dual cross-country flight training
3 hours dual instruction at night
10 hours of solo flight time, which must include at least:
3 hours of cross-country flight training.
One solo cross-country flight of at least 100 nautical miles with landings at a minimum of three points and one segment of the flight consisting of a straight-line distance of at least 25 nautical miles between takeoff and landing locations.
though i do kinda agree they should adjust the money so you can go commercial there only if you want
