23 k
Just got 23,000 hours during power-line patrolling.
Not tired yet.:} |
Well done spencer17....bloody amazing effort!:D
& Sir any tips, advice on flight safety & Airmanship please from Your experience(s) would be greatly appreciated? Thank You :ok: |
Thanks VF,
don't expect to many tips, just 2: 1. Use common sense when flying (rules can't cover everything) 2. If you don't feel comfortable with the task just don't do it, even if someone has done it before. |
Respect! Powerline was always my most horrible job in helo business !
All the time under powered in BH06 and wind comes always from the wrong side..... 23k hours 😳😳 and you are not tiered! Sorry, but you must be a little bit insane, aren‘t you?? 😂😂 |
23k hours and you are not tiered! Sorry, but you must be a little bit insane, aren‘t you?? Up here in the north we have a good variety of jobs, so it doesn't get boring. |

Fantastic Achievement. I too would love to hear of some of the highlights and lessons learned.
Fly Safe. CRAN :ok: |
How many logbooks does 23,000 flying hours fill?
|
How many logbooks does 23,000 flying hours fill? The Excel spreadsheet now has 3.504 lines. |
So what is involved in the variety Spencer 17? Many moons ago also pax (but I didn't need that):} Not to forget the weather up here can make it very interesting.:ouch: |
How many years have you been load lifting then?
Presumably you were only Day VFR? |
I would hope day VFR for that type of flying work TC. It's risky enough as it is without adding night and any IFR restrictions.
Well done Spencer 17 big for the big milestone. Look forward to your 25th (thousandth) :ok: Cheers FP |
Well done!
|
It takes 4000 hrs to get to the moon and back at 120kt, so you have been there and back 5 times and are currently halfway back from the moon on your 6th run.
Enjoy the view! Watch out for that space junk. |
How many years have you been load lifting then? I have about 19.000 aerial work, from spraying, lifting, survey etc. |
@Ascent Charlie: that doesn't work for me. Spraying, fertilizing and external loads don't go fast. Maybe half the distance.
|
That's almost 2 hours a day, 7 days a week, 56 hours a month, 650 hours a year, for 34 years!
