2018 Hours

smurfjed · 21-12-2018 12:08pm #1

Coming up to my days off so finished for the year.

Completed 485 hours and 275 flights.

Anyone else care to share?

Creamy Goodness · 21-12-2018 12:57pm

Not a pilot so no insane hours but here’s mine.

149,180km
204 hours
34 flights

b757 · 21-12-2018 1:47pm

~780 Hours, 815 scheduled block hours.
373 Flights.
Longest; DUB-PFO (1976NM) 2083nm flown.
Shortest; DUB-LPL/MAN.

Edit: Not sure why, but some of the airport labels are completely wrong.

Tenger · 21-12-2018 1:51pm

A mate has his own consultancy firm. Posted his stats using 'App in the Air' earlier today.
532 block hours, 140 sectors, 360,000km, 17 countries, 40 airports 14 airlines and 20 A/C types.

Thats terrifying.

Brennus335 · 21-12-2018 1:54pm

Too many.

If climate change is giving SNN a mediterranean climate, count me in.

Lustrum · 21-12-2018 10:03pm

Quick scan of the logbook says roughly 475hrs across 260 sectors, but there was a type rating thrown in there in the middle too.

Having moved to a bigger airline I'm expecting 2019 hours to be somewhere close to the limit

afatbollix · 21-12-2018 10:15pm

Got promoted in work in September which has seen my flight time go up.

34 flights this year.

95 hours in the air.

35,273 miles
55,962 km
1.4x around the earth.

I expect next year to be double if not triple. Bring it on. I really enjoy flying

NewSigGuy · 21-12-2018 10:20pm

Will Finish the year at 1025hrs in 100 sectors..

goingnowhere · 21-12-2018 10:27pm

119,183km
178 hours
47 sectors

If only work would pay for business class...

Numbers for 2017 pretty much the same

lfc200 · 22-12-2018 1:00am

49 flights
29,755NM

Not bad for someone who works for a food company really....

They keep buying return tickets so I always end up back where I started

I think you need to talk to EASA about yearly limits.

duskyjoe · 22-12-2018 12:59pm

795hrs long haul....b@llixed. Roll on Jan/Feb where I have a bit of downtime

That sounds like you literally fly only one route.

Pity its not in EASA Land, I would have had a month off at the end of the year..

9 flights a month? That’s a lot, is that mainly day trips for business?

L1011 · 24-12-2018 12:19am

Utterly pathetic year for me (passenger only)

7 legs (one city hopping trip), 4 airlines. Two new airlines, one new aircraft type. About 7500km.

One holiday was done by sea + car which had an impact, I was in the off-year for two annual events I go to every two years or so and I had no work trips at all for the first time in probably a decade. Think the last year I was lower than this was 2007 and even then I'm not sure!

And yet, due to far longer than average trips, I got my Radisson status back.

Next year is likely to be up by those two events at the very least.

No day trips this year oddly enough because there are usually a few. Length varies from two or three days to two or three weeks.
Lots of connecting flights A-B-C-E-A with odd patterns.
Mostly business trips but four leisure trips in there as well, also a couple of other countries not mentioned as travelled there by boat.
The worst part is the number of wasted hours standing in airport security, passport control and boarding queues. Once I'm onboard I can relax but I detest the other parts of the journeys...

What did poor old “D” do to upset you?

Skuxx · 25-12-2018 1:45pm

This year's stats for me
46500km
69 hours flying
19 flights
7 countries
12 airports
5 aircraft types
6 airlines

Its about 50:50 work/leisure travel. Not a lot of flying compared to some of you.
Probably spent about 5 months of the year out of the country.

martinsvi · 31-12-2018 12:29pm

324 flights, 407 hours, 14 countries (Europe only), type rating done in May so all of it was done in the second half of the year

are your numbers correct? According to the map you are a long-hauler, but putting the numbers together, your average flight length is less than 2 hours?

MoeJay · 31-12-2018 1:29pm

Just wrapped, about 710 hours in total, 111 flights in work, and a few for pleasure....!

Plus sone as a punter.....

bkehoe · 31-12-2018 7:21pm

883....14 less than last year, been taking it easy!

Growler!!! · 31-12-2018 8:17pm

Started the year in Fort Lauderdale, 837 hours and 134 flights later I’ll be ringing in the new year in Rio.

Noxegon · 02-01-2019 9:18pm

75 flights, totalling 343 hours – all as a passenger.

After DUB my most frequent airport was DXB, in all cases for connections.

SRFC90 · 03-01-2019 8:33pm

Recently started an integrated course, finished up the year with 14hrs flown, the last of which being my first solo!

No more flying now until all 14 ATPL exams are done!

notuslimited · 04-01-2019 8:37pm

Commute to FRA nearly every week bar holidays. Work in Finance.

93 flights with EI (all European legs bar 1 return to IAD using my Conc upgrades).
4 flights with QR (bagged a fab deal in Business from LHR-HKG. Total price €1604 with 3 of the 4 legs in Q-Suite aircraft. The other was the A380 upper deck where I made lots of use of the bar).
3 flights with LH (FRA-DUB return and FRA-LIS)
2 flights with BA (DUB-LCY and LCY-FRA)
1 flight with TP (LIS-FRA)

103 flights in total with 2019 shaping up pretty much the same.

smurfjed · 11-12-2020 10:53am

I thought that we did this last year, but I can’t find it. For most of us, a bloody horrible year.

I should end the year with 340 hours and 191 flights, with probably another 8 sectors as a passenger.

There were times that literally being the only aircraft allowed to fly was fun, but alas, now patiently waiting on 2021

2019 / 210 flights and 390 hours, so not much of a change.

Noxegon · 11-12-2020 12:50pm

Last year I had 264 hours as a passenger across 77 flights.

This year, 27 hours 25 minutes across 13 flights.

Tenger · 11-12-2020 2:16pm

My other half had 834 block hours last year.
Her total so far this year is 364, with another 8 planned just before the New Year.
Jan-April hours were 186.

goingnowhere · 11-12-2020 10:43pm

45 flights in 2019, 73,025km, 124 hours, fairly typical, exact same number of flights as 2018 but didn't come close to retaining Concierge with EI :mad:

Down to 16 in 2020

L1011 · 11-12-2020 11:25pm

The last calendar year I can remember not having any flights at all is 2003 - the last year I didn't leave the island of Ireland was 2000; Irish Ferries sufficed in '03

2020 is going to be the new 'most recent year with no flights'.

lintdrummer · 11-12-2020 11:41pm

In the last 12 months I have flown 139 sectors and 261 block hours. I have another 2 sectors before the end of the year but that's it.
Don't have my 2019 hours to hand but it was around 800.

Lustrum · 12-12-2020 10:36pm

2019 was 797 block hours, 2020 is currently at 215, with 4 short European sectors left.....let's see what 2021 brings!

Depends on the company and nowadays depends on the fleet!

My airbus colleagues are grounded for a year on unpaid leave. For us on the "main" fleet we are almost back to 85% of pre covid hours.

From December '18 to December '19 I did 689 hours.
From December '19 to December '20 I did 580 hours, 420 of which was during the covid period.

Has been a mixed bag of passenger only, mixed pax and freight, mini freighter and dedicated freighter flights for me to all corners of the globe. I consider myself lucky to still be flying but have enjoyed flying to some of the busier airports while they're quiet AMS, JFK, CDG, PEK and SYD to name a few.

How's your flying been at home ???:D

Oh yeh, I have friends in EK and QR and have gone to the big airline pilot graveyard in the sky! Mostly Airbus too.
