Excuse me, sir, I've used it to refer to fixed gear aircraft departing
a runway for some 45 years and 5000 hours, taught it to a few hundred
students, and was taught it by MY instructors long before you ever
became a pilot methinks ... or perhaps while you were still in liquid
form?


Only 5,000 hours and 45 years?

OK sonny.

That's about normal for a private pilot, no?

Prolly, but beside the point...

I've got 1,300 in 10.

Well done!

Yeah, sonny, 5000 hours and 45 years. SOme of those were chock-full of
students and stuff and some of them were very lean between aircraft and
opportunites to teach. You got a problem with that? Right now I'm very
lean between a sick bird and opportunity. Next year looks good. You got a
problem with that?

BTW, did you pay for EVERY STINKING HOUR YOU FLEW unless the student paid
for it? Otherwise, I don't want to have any grief from you.

I was pointing out that if you gotta tell 'em who ya are...



In any case the term is crap and poor usage coming from a percieved need to
"sex it up"

Blimey, 130 hours a year for a private? I wish I could afford over 10 hours
a month, but sadly it's gonne be more like 3 or 4

Jim, Jim, JIM. I appreciate your spirited defense, but it's really not
necessary or even desirable here.

You're getting all worked into a lather over the response of a mentally ill
troll who gets off on watching YOUR response. Shouting him down is like
jacking him off -- he loves every minute of it, and you're just enabling his
disease.

See ya over on Pilots of America...

Looks like there's a microlight in your future then :-)

Unlikely, as I want four seats and the ability to travel abroad. Unless they
change the rules so that hours in a microlight count towards currency for
the PPL(A) then it's a non-starter really.

In that case you should think about a group with a Piper Tri Pacer or
something. they're quite cheap to buy and run!
