I'm thinking the two big "ifs" are IF you study and work hard, and IF your instructor charges Hobbs time only. (If he's Hobbs only, don't expect much in the ground instruction department. You get what you pay for.)

Lowballing new students with visions of 40-hour completion is done all the time, but how many people actually learn all the material and master all the skills in that amount of time? Not very many, and those that did just squeeked by with bare minimums.

The 40-hour thing has turned into a sales gimmick by flight schools. Not very ethical at all.
