I'm guessing that January is probably one of the very quiet months for instructing so how quiet have we all been then.
I've logged 15hrs instructing. :(
Weather has been pretty gash too.
Granted, I did not exactly start on New Yrs Day and i've had a w/end off but is this about right?
Generally speaking, when do we all think it'll pick up?

Just over 40 this month. Bookings have been busy but wx hasn't oblidged.

Just over 40hours (none at night!) for Jan.
Bookings steady, not worked any days off, but the weather has taken a significant number of working hours out. (Think at one point I'd lost 7 days in a row!)
My Oppo has done about the same, and I think 'The Boss' is only a few hours behind (excluding Skill Tests!)

You did well. I only managed 24.5. I don't work Saturdays and we had a couple of good 'uns + having a group of students who weren't ready for the circuit when we could have done that but not upper air work. Ho Hum.

Working Saturday's and Sunday's and some afternoons - 19hrs for the month. Weather not very helpfull. Exercise 18b and 19 came out of the locker a few times.
For my club though total hours flown Jan 08 were better then the previous two years. Student numbers are up and better Instructor availability. We are only a little outfit though.

23.5 VFR but 44.2 for Feb mix of VFR/IFR plus some supervised X country and circuits at full rate - Quite respectable eh? Turning people away at present!

64.5 hours VFR for February. Not bad at all.
Nearly 40hrs for Feb - was pretty suprised as I had quite a few days off too.
VFE.

I managed 44 hours in Feb, work Sun-Thurs (Fri & Sat off)
Not so good, really, when some are managing 60+ in a similar area.

72 hours VFR working 7 days a week, 2 full days cancelled due to weather and about 7 afternoons cancelled so I was on target for about 100. BUT I work in southern Spain!
