But how many INDIVIDUAL a/c have you flown?

Yes, yes, enjoying the thread, and, as a PPL of slender means I am of course humbled by the variety of types that some have had the good fortune to get their hands on.
If, like me, life/work/fate, etc. has moved you around the place a bit, you might be surprised by how many different airframes have been involved in your accumulation of hours/types.
I have soloed and been cleared to fly pax in seven types (plus variations) in my 430-odd hours logged.
I've looked at my logbooks tonight (there's nothing on the telly) and this is what I found.

C150/152
24 Registrations Logged 231.30 Hours

C172
11 Registrations Logged 86.55 Hours

PA28-140
10 Registrations Logged 48.10 Hours

AA5,(A),(B)
4 Registrations Logged 45.50 Hours

C182
1 Registration Logged 14.15 Hours

PA38 Tomahawk
3 Registrations Logged 6.05 Hours

MS880B
2 Registrations Logged 2.45 Hours


So, I make that 55 individual airplanes flown by me as PUT or PIC to accumulate 430-odd hours out of 7 'home airfields' over 20-odd years as an impecunious peripatetic PPL in the British Isles. An average of less than 8 hours in each. 'Average' not true in reality as I was in group ownership on three of these aircraft which 'skews' the figures.
