How many hours did you fly in 2009?

[Bsmiller05]

Right about 70. But, I haven't flown since mid-June...

I need to go become a lawyer or doctor. Or millionaire.

I have no idea, but with training included it ended up being 169 days away from home.

[Hootie]

700ish

 

[juskl]

Over 800...

 

[ctab5060X]

630ish

Average of just over 50 hours a month, right on par for a year filled with mostly high speeds.

 

[Adler]

about 25...I suck.

 

[SmoothLanderJ]

870ish........

 

[drunkenbeagle]

Enough to know I do not want to fly 1,000 hours / year.

800-1000 is nice, lots of flying, not really that much work, 80 hrs per month basically, not too bad at all, past 1000hrs QOL really starts to degrade.

Best post ever. I've done it. It's not fun.

I fly 40 hours/month and love it. I still collect a paycheck bigger than when I was a 121 jet FO working twice as much. All about QOL and the pay.

2010 should easily be the most flying I've ever done in a year:

~120 glider tows in the Pawnee
~50 glider
~100 dual given airplanes (best guess, still need to do those CFI rides...)
~50 personal flying
----
~320 hours evenings and weekends is a lot of flying.

1000 can be ok if there aren't too many cycles. That said, I'd prefer less, and 1250 or so is not ok by any stretch of the imagination. I could take about two months off and not look at an airplane.

How I miss the days of 6 hour nights (door to door) flying a total of 2.3 four days a week! Even then, I knew it was too good to last.

I miss the days of 3 straight rotations where the only flying I did was a .297 check (1.5 I think).

LOTS of Monopoly with Dx and catching up on my CFI renewal. Good times.

That's my schedule to a T. Except it's a 5 day on/5 day off rotation. Bwahaha!
