100 Hours!!!


Many people like to end the year with a bang. Usually they end up starting the year with quite a few bangs. But don't worry we always get out mid-year fix on July 4. I ended 2010 on a high note. My last flight of the year also happened to be the flight that logged my 100th hour. It's one of those milestones you think you'll never reach but when you keep plugging away an hour at a time it adds up eventually. In actuallity the real milestone is 1,000 hours. And some pilots claim they've flown so much they just lost count. To put the number into perspective, about 40 hours are required for the basic Private Pilot License. The big goal I'm working on right now is the 200 hours that are required for the Commercial License. Note that it requires 200 PIC (Pilot in Command) hours as opposed to the Total Duration of Flight in the picture. To date I have logged 58.2 PIC hours, meaning time that I was the pilot responsible for the flight in contrast to a student pilot.I have also logged a little over 200 landings (practice makes perfect). More like perfect weather and perfect practice and perfect prayer make perfect landings, but the point is I can get us on the groud in one piece... hopefully.

So much for not getting technical... 100 HOURS YIPPEE!!
Pretty soon I'll have 100 PIC and then 200 PIC and my commercial license.

Thanks for the support thus far!
