A dual pattern flight not exceeding 1.0 hour may be conducted before a solo local or xc flight. What is the maximum duration?

A dual pattern flight before solo is a supervised practice session focused on handling the aircraft in the traffic pattern to build confidence and demonstrate readiness for solo operations. The rule sets this session to a maximum of one hour. This limit provides enough time to refine pattern entry and landing technique under instruction while keeping the training progression tight and safe, without letting dual time extend too long before solo. So the correct understanding is that the maximum duration is up to 1.0 hour. Shorter durations wouldn’t meet the policy, and longer durations would exceed the allowed limit.
