As PIC, or a trainee, just a few of the usual spamcans i.e. PA38, C150, C152, PA28-140, PA28-161, PA28-181, then a C421C, and of course my TB20 since I got it in 2002, and have flown almost nothing else since then. Currency on type is what I like

"Been in" some other stuff e.g. SR22, DA42, C172, C182.

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.

Today I was sent to ferry back a forgotten Lake Amphibian - what a beautiful plane! At some point in it's life, it had been very well cared for. Not recently though. With ferry permit in hand, I had to inflate three totally flat tires, and change the battery. After the requisite very detailed walkaround, draining of all sumps and so forth, and long warm up and ground run, it took to the air like a homesick angel.

As I flew it high on a pristine day, I took the time to dig out the journey log, and see what it had been doing recently - Nothing! This poor plane had not moved from it's tiedowns since June 2010. Well, it seemed very happy to fly now. After it's annual inspection, I'll take it into the water on a demo flight to a prospective buyer. I hope it will find new appreciation.

That plane brings my tally (and the return from my thread drift) to 222 individual aircraft I have recorded flying as PIC.
