Need 30 More hours 200HR TT In 1 Year

[NW_PILOT]

Update,

I almost put in 200 hours TT this year the 29th of this month will be 1 year
since I started after my bout with phenomena and a collapsed lung. I am
about 30 hours short of 200TT it should not be a problem if the weather
holds to do them 30 hours. I got 1 more round at the dentist and 2 more
teeth to be pulled on the 24th "Ill tell you all Dry Socket Really Sucks
Glad It's Over, So Dose 3 Hours In Chair Being Cut On And Hammard On" I Also
hope to put in 200 hours PIC by December 14 2004 1 year from earning my
PP-ASEL. October 22 Is the Day I soloed and the say I quit smoking (3 packs
a day) Cold Turkey I have not had any tobacco products since.

Furthest Flown In 1 Day SOLO From: Vancouver, WA (59S) TO: Crosby, ND (D50)

Dang, that's a bunch of solo hours.

Mary and I have about 200 hours this year -- together!

:-)

I met a Cirrus demo pilot the other day who put 900+ hours in last year.

I can't fathom that -- although I'd like to try it someday.

Ok if someone else is paying for the petrol!

Just in fuel that would cost me more than my salary. Before tax!

At 3:30 AM, I don't type very well either.

If you want to know God's opinion of money, just look at the people
he gives it to.

I can't either. My top year was a little over 100, and much of that was getting used
to the Maule.

Congrats on the many successful milestones - sounds like you have (and
continue to) work through several issues there.

I put in around 200 hours last year, probably will fall a bit short of that
this year but still should be somewhere around 180 hours or so (depends on
the weather - it seems like we may be in for an unusually early fall this
year). Witt he shorter days and the coming of the Big Gray Drip I figure
now's the time to get in a few more long day trips. Hope the weather
cooperates!

I used to say that. Then I got a bunch of instructor ratings, and all
of a sudden people were actually paying me to fly. I guess I went
overboard - I had multiple students going, and the next thing I knew,
I had over 300 hours for the year and it wasn't even over.

I noticed something else, too. I wasn't looking forward to flying the
way I used to. Sometimes I got in the airplane with no enthusiasm at
all. It was becoming too much like work. It was also absorbing every
spare moment I had. I even started talking about selling my airplane.

I don't do that anymore. I carefully limit the number of students I
take on. I'm back to my preferred level of flying - about 20 hours a
month, give or take. I'm back to looking forward to every flight, and
back to having time for doing other things.

And every time I think about flying for a living, I think about that
year.

Mine, too -- but that's cuz I'm pouring everything we make back into the
hotel remodeling...

Of course, your petrol prices are a wee bit higher than ours, no?

Ah, I know that feeling. Just got done with (what I hope) was my last
season banner towing. 450 hours in 3 months, felt like most days I needed a
shoehorn to get myself out of that Cub. But I still woke up each morning
looking forward to going to work (though by about 2:00 in the afternoon I
was counting down the hours 'till the end of the day.) I'm looking forward
to getting a nice easy 135 job that will limit me to 80 hours/month. That
seems so much more manageable.

Thank you, get-paid-for-flying-guy, for this comment. That makes us
pay-for-flying-guys feel _much_ better... ;-)

Well it is a bad month for me so far, I am not going to make my goal of
200HR TT by the 29th this darn dry socket is not healing fast enough and the
weather is getting worse. I may get 2 days of flying in dependant upon
weather. Thursday afternoon I get two more teeth extracted. I hope I don't
get a dry socket during that round. Then my airplane will be down for annual
inspection some time in October what a bummer this is! oh well. This entire
month has been horrible so far wonder if it can get any worse? let see so
far it been a Cracked Tooth, 2 extractions, and a Dry Socket and more
extractions to come, I turned 28 years old and someone hit my car and took
off while at the movies thank god it was caught on security cams hopefully
they will find the person. What's next some one going to steal my airplane!
well when it rains it pores doesn't it!


Well I feel like I am up physically for flying tomorrow if the weather is
VFR I know I will be in my airplane finally.

Look forward to A.A. (Altitude and Adrenalin) What a Fealing It Is To Fly!!

Can you get addiced to flying? Answer is yes you sure can

Isn't that prohibited by the FAA?

You are only 28 and have your own aeroplane - doesn't sound too shabby to
me!! :-)

I'm sure that they have a FAR somewhere that says you can't enjoy flying. Just don't
admit to it. :-)

If a man gets into a fight 3,000 miles away from home, he *had* to have
been looking for it.

A spelling and punctuation checker might ease the pain and suffering of
aviation addiction - that is, if you're going to write about it..
