Flight hours per week
I am 16 yrs young. i am thinking about joing the AAC, I have read all the brochures and whatnot. I just have one question;
If you are in any of the armed forces, how many hours do you personally fly in a week.
thanx

You maybe wont get the most flying hours in the world throughout any of the three services compared to civvie street but I can guarantee you it is the best flying you will ever do!
If you join and don't agree simply leave and go to the airlines...it's as easy as that.

The Merlins in Oxfordshire are flying all the time
I once did 3 static line jumps from a Chinook before breakfast, does that count?

I was often asked how many hours I had on Maritime and would casually reply - "15000" to gasps of - "Wow! that's a lot"
"Yes" I would say - "9000 on Nimrod and 6000 waiting for MT"
Personal flying rate is dictated by currency - presently 30 hours per quarter - some weeks nothing - ie. Block leave
Not unusual to pick up 2 x SAR sorties plus a couple of Ops sorties (usually over the weekend) and you've suddenly got 32 hours under your belt.
Loved many, Trusted a few, Always paddled my own canoe!

SAR pilot on seakings, (RAF)
four hours per shift training plus anything you get on a job after that... (When the aircraft is working of course)
Works out about 20 - 40 hours a month.

Fair one RAYTOFCLIMB, good banter although technically not within the 5sec rule.
Don't worry about not reading the post correctly-- guess you couldn't fully see the computer screen, what past that huge nose!!!!!

I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could
Raw hours aint everything. You don't just jump in the jet or strap a cab on.
What's normal now? Pitch up? Brief, walk, checks, airborne, land, tech debrief, flight debrief, eat and possibly start again?
Work 8 hours fly 2 hours?
