orionflt Posted February 11, 2014 Report Posted February 11, 2014 Last time I checked, I have logged around 490,560 hours of which 201,480 are owning my Mooney and if you count cleaning the interior, playing with the avionics, downloading or uploading stuff and actually flying it, I probably have 7,000 hours IN my Mooney.

BigTex Posted February 11, 2014 Report Posted February 11, 2014 Seth - your T6 Time... I'm assuming you're referring to the T6 Texan tail dragger? If so, that sticks out and with no other tail dragger time, there has to be a story there? Quote
RocketAviator Posted February 11, 2014 Report Posted February 11, 2014 +/- 1200 TT, +/-110 Mooney Rocket I see all these real pilots and feel so inadquate to even post my trivial time ..... Quote
Bob_Belville Posted February 11, 2014 Report Posted February 11, 2014 2981 TT, 2479 in Mooneys, Plus 2729 SE retract) all as a private pilot on my own dime. 119 in C150/C172/C177/C182/C207 120 in 5 PA28 fixed, 250 in PA28R/PA32R/PA24-400), 13 Pa23/Pa34). Quote
Bob - S50 Posted February 11, 2014 Report Posted February 11, 2014 You professional pilots... Please adjust to only show hours that you actually hand fly. Instead of 18,000+ it would be about 5000 or so (including time spent upside down). Bob Quote
Marauder Posted February 11, 2014 Report Posted February 11, 2014 LOL I think you missed a couple of spaces otherwise you have spent 56 years in the air. Just answered his questions. "How many total hours do you have and how much do you have in your Mooney?" I gave him my total hours (of existence -- has it really been that long?) and how much time I spent in my Mooney (7,000 hours). He didn't ask if I was actually flying it! Sent using Tapatalk 1 Quote

M016576 Posted February 11, 2014 Report Posted February 11, 2014 Not all hours are created equal. Or, for you George Orwell fans: all hours are created equal, but some hours are more equal than others. 1 Quote
Wakeup Posted February 11, 2014 Author Report Posted February 11, 2014 Wow!!! I love seeing all of the big numbers and look forward to the day I can post some high numbers myself. I am literally addicted to this web site and enjoy seeing everyone help each other out with questions and concerns. I am going to have a drink to that. Cheers. Troy 1 Quote

MooneyPTG Posted February 11, 2014 Report Posted February 11, 2014 Troy, I have 200 total 120 in my mooney m20e. Rod machado has a good article about anxiety. http://www.rodmachado.com/_become_private_pilot/excuses.php We have all been there. Fly as often as you can. Bring a CFI with you if you haven't flown in a while. The more you fly the more comfortable you will be in your plane. A little fear is not a bad thing as it keeps you from doing stupid things. Repetition is also good to keep you in a behavior pattern. Take little trips and stay near your home field to build up confidence. Then keep reminding yourself of your safe and successful previous flights. The longest trip I have taken so far was 850 miles. When I landed I felt like a rock star. I remind myself of all the great flights I have had to get rid of any jitters. Also read all the time. Be a student of your airplane and aviation. Knowledge is power. 1 Quote
cliffy Posted February 11, 2014 Report Posted February 11, 2014 Lots of hours don't mean squat. All mine mean is I was lucky and sat in a cockpit and starred out the window. Real flying is 6000 feet in the Mooney with the wheel in your hand. Playing with crosswinds and weather that are no problem for a Boeing. Flying 1000 miles with the radios off and using pilotage only. Landing at small out of the way airports just to see what's there. Flying around the LA basin VFR, this is the stuff that builds confidence. All you guys with lower time don't sell yourselves short. Be careful, pay attention to the basics and enjoy your Mooneys. Just always remember that the accident rate goes up until you reach about 1200 hrs then it starts to taper off. Be careful and have fun. 5 Quote
DrBill Posted February 11, 2014 Report Posted February 11, 2014 675 total, 157 in my M20E for 2.5 years. 366 in my previous plane(a Beech Sundowner I had for 7 years). Bill Quote
Jeev Posted February 11, 2014 Report Posted February 11, 2014 About 950 total and around 750 in my J Quote

Now i see that all you were saying is that your old and your wife makes you sleep at the hanger a lot! 1 Quote
