4500 hours in the bunk? ha
how about 4500 hours in the flare? ;-)
think about it. fly 1000 hours a year in transoceanic flying. 2 minutes on takeoff , 3 minutes on landing you might hand fly. Cut everything in half as you have to share the total year with your copilot , so maybe the typical transoceanic pilot has 250 hand flying minutes a year.
4 hours plus 10mins.
yeah. I think most pilots should just log: interested observer time.
