300 Hours

I passed a milestone of sorts this evening – 300 hours total time in flight. Sad to say I didn’t do any of the flying, I was safety pilot again, so there’s no great feeling about it like there could otherwise be. My currencies are being stretched again as I struggle to juggle time and money with my new job: the Playstation 3 launches in November and there is a lot to do to make sure that happens! But I have planes booked over the next couple of weeks to extend my PIC and to (by then) renew my Instrument currency – I only need one approach for another 4 months.

No Wonder I Couldn’t Sleep Last Night….

Your Pilot In Command

I got my private pilot certificate in Feb 2002, and my instrument rating exaclty one year later in 2003. I fly out of Montgomery Field, San Diego, renting Cessna 172s, 182s, and Piper Archers from PlusOneFlyers. I also have high performance and complex endorsements.

Currently, I have approximately 350 hours of PIC time, including 450 landings, and a monster 6.4 hours of actual instrument time. September 2010
