15 hours of flying seemed a little low to me, and that's why I asked.
I dunno...that doesn't seem terribly far out of line. I think the biggest factors for the flying will be how proficient you are in the Arrow and how naturally good you are at talking/explaining things while you fly.

Those published numbers are probably on the low end of average, but if you work hard, completely possible.

Do you still own that 152? You might be able to save some money by getting an instructor to fly with you in your own plane to get you talking/explaining maneuvers while you fly, then transitioning into the Arrow and spending less time in the Arrow. That's what those 5 hours of 172 time are listed for. Something to think about.
