Well my situation is this. I have A/c and students to fly about 120hrs in the last 28 days. My school needs me to fly these hours. I have flown several days at 7.5 or 8 hours in a day. I've decided that this is not sensible and thus I am going to limit myself to 100hrs in 28 days and unless there is a very good reason I'm not going to fly more than 6 hours a day. The law is vague and the rules unclear.
The structure of employment whereby I am paid by the hour and am motivated to log as many hours as possible positively encourages me to fly reagardless of fatigue considerations. This seems rather silly.
At the end of the day I cannot be sat in an airline interview and seriously talk about being safety concious etc if my logbook is screaming evidence of flying when totally knackered. Also there's no-one watching my back in the cockpit and I've started to notice little mistakes creeping in like forgetting to put the fuel pump on when teching PFL's (yesterday morning at the end of a v.busy week) and that is just not on.
Happy and safe flying everyone, WWW
