Engine Airplane Aircraft

Question for anyone who's flown a single engine/small airplane before, please...?

For those who have a pilot's license or who have taken flight training classes, how difficult is it to land a plane smoothly and safely on your own (I'm referring to small, 1 or 2 person aircrafts)?

About how many flight hours and/or landings would you say it takes the average person before he can comfortably start landing planes?

Thank you.

40 hours minimum classroom and inflight training with a qualified flight instructor

Landing a small plane is actually very simple and not that much more complicated than driving a car. Not to say I could do it on my own but I did do it once with an instructor beside me organising the flaps and keeping an eye on the airspeed.

You wouldn't need 40 hours if all your project is is to be able to take over and land a small plane in good weather when near an airport

Aircraft oil filters - any made of sintered bronze balls for filtering? What other substances used to filter?

I was reading a Popular Mechanix magazine from the 1960's, and a guy was claiming that the micro-welded bronze ball type of oil filter in airplanes of the day would allow an automobile engine to run 200k or more miles, that it filtered the tiny 2-4 micron-sized particles that kill most automobile engines. Any truth to that, and what type of filter material is used in aircraft engines now? Anyone tried to run an aircraft oil filter in an automobile?

You can "over filter" oil. This was a problem with the toilet roll filters of the seventies. These were only used in the automotive industry.
The filters used in large radial engines (Wright and P&W) were made up of series of disc shaped screens separated by corrugated spacers. These filters can be dismantled for cleaning.
The smaller engines fitted to bug smashers use a filter similar to those uesd in a car.
Gas turbine engines use gause type filters that can be cleaned and reused.
There is no reason why you couldnt use an aircraft filter in your car if you fabricate an adaptor to suit the car's engine.
