I have a fairly high (in my research - 80hrs and counting) flight hours and still no solo, with landings having been a major reason. There is definitely progress - but I am not convinced I'll solo before 100. I am 43 in decent shape and reasonably coordinated (no red flags). In addition to being expensive and frustrating it begs a question whether any subsequent flying activities like an instrument rating would also take significantly longer (thus being more expensive and frustrating) and - more importantly - whether it is an indicator that my future piloting skills will always be mediocre.
My CFI says that "everyone hits a plateau" but I am concerned that past may be an indicator for future...
Couple notes to address comments - I have passed my medical - Hours were spread over 10 months and there was a 2-3 month lull (due to weather + ski season) in winter and 1 month break in summer. Otherwise I was pretty religious about 2-3/week lessons. - I actually changed CFI at about 50hr mark and quite like how my current CFI teaches
So while it would be nice to look at outside issues - I think the problem is more likely to lie with me than with others... Now back to my original questions...
Any thoughts?
