you commute there and back to the airport? When you add in the pre flight planning and post flight time, how does it compare with automobile travel? Pre-flight planning on a regular (i.e. familiar route) becomes almost non-existent on a regular route. When I lived in Houston, I regularly flew from SPX to Weiser - after the first couple of times it was a case of pre-flight and jump in and go, no need to figure headings, waypoints and all the usual cross country stuff. Getting a weather briefing is a trivial amount of time. Even IFR trips on a regular route take very little preflight planning - for regular routes, a canned flight plan takes out most of the planning time. -- Dylan Smith, Castletown, Isle of Man Flying: http://www.dylansmith.net Frontier Elite Universe: http://www.alioth.net "Maintain thine airspeed, lest the ground come up and smite thee" |
