No. of hours flown per year...?

[NRDK]

Between 325 - 350 hours per year, average over the last 4 years, SAR S61's. Plenty of great flying, a lot of TV, and some of the best wages to be had in the Rotary wing world.

[Kipper]

200ish per year flying a mixture of UK Police relief and charter/private in EC135, AS350 and AS355.

[212man]

Average about 600-650 per year but that's a 7 month year. Often hit the 90-100 hours in 28 days figure. B212, oil and gas support with training thrown in (on days off!).

EMS in the Southwest US. Bell 222. I average only about 200 hours per year. We are salaried for 175 days a year, so I guess that's a little over an hour a shift. A few years ago flying fire and Utility it was more like 850 a year. I have to say, I'm enjoying this more along with the time at home. Think of all the money I save in logbooks too!
