Hour building over a long period of time?
Hello,
I recently received my PPL and am now looking to hour build.
Due to personal commitments, I will be juggling the flying with the ATPL distance learning and my undergraduate Physics studies. Therefore, I am likely only to average about 1 hour of flying a week, maybe in 1.5/2 hour flights. So that may come to a flight every two weeks or so, looking to finish the 100hrs PIC within about 18-24 months from now. I'm not counting any training towards the night rating, and possibly the IMC rating.
My question is, is this a reasonable timeframe to use - from the perspective of improving my flying skills in preparation for the CPL, and also from that of a potential employer (whether it be the airlines, flight instruction, or any commercial work) who may be interested in my flight history? Or should I be aiming to fly more often?
Thanks
