... In your example, at the point in time at which you were permitted to act as the solo pilot in command of the airplane, you had already received 11.3 hours of dual prior to that flight, plus another 0.9 hours of dual that flight. If you add the two numbers, you get 12.2 hours of dual instruction prior to your solo. Well, not exactly. You see, at the start of the lesson in question, I received some dual instruction for an undetermined length of time, then I soloed for .3 hours, then I received some more dual instruction flying back to the home airport. Ah. Most people I guess (myself included) log the time the dual instruction flight ends...it should be the end of a flight, assuming the instructor doesn't put on a parachute and jump out. Then you start logging solo from that time until you land and stop the plane. If the instructor gets back in and you do some more stuff, then you start logging dual instruction at that time. You could just guess I suppose, but you'd need to enter something in your log book. Should probably be different lines for different flights. Reminds me of the student pilot who was asked what he would do if his instructor became incapacitated half way through a cross country flight. His answer was to continue to his destination and log half dual instruction and half pilot in command. Paul |

... Why can't you grumpily nitpick some arcane point in my post--I mean, just to fit in? It has been raining in the Northeast for a week, and between that and the spring thaw all my grass airports are closed. That could explain some of the posts. We in the Northwest have all been out flying, which explains why the local flame wars have subsided a bit :-) It's been the sort of CAVU week that we know happens fro mtime to time, and people from outside assume happens never. I chose Friday evening to knock some rust off with 3 and a hold, and just had to lift the shades for a few minutes so I could take in the sunset. After we landed, I stood on the apron and took advantage of the low horizon to the west (except for the Olympics). There, in a ragged line left to right, were the Moon, Jupiter, Saturn, Mars, Venus, and Mercury, all visible at once. That won't happen again until 2035. -- David Brooks |

I guess the best thing to do would be to toss the instructor out and finish the trip solo. :-) George Patterson This marriage is off to a shaky start.

Then you start logging solo from that time until you land and stop the plane. I was in such bliss that I didn't log anything. But now that I look at my logbook, I see that my instructor did: for 1/26/98, I flew dual for 0.6 hours followed by solo 0.5 hours. all the best -- Dan Ford email: (put Cubdriver in subject line) The Warbird's Forum www.warbirdforum.com The Piper Cub Forum www.pipercubforum.com Viva Bush! blog www.vivabush.org |

After we landed, I stood on the apron and took advantage of the low
horizon to the west (except for the Olympics). There, in a ragged line left to right, were the Moon, Jupiter, Saturn, Mars, Venus, and Mercury, all visible at once. That won't happen again until 2035. We saw the same thing -- it was awesome. We took off from Iowa City with the kids, with three scattered layers overhead. Flew through one, flew through the next, and then, as we proceeded south, the third one just evaporated. Just for fun, I wheeled and soared between and through the little puffies, as the sun set through them. The red colors of the setting sun shining through the wispy layer was almost religious. The kids, who had previously been whining about going flying, fell unusually silent. As the sun sank below the horizon the air became thick and syrupy, and we were all lost in our own thoughts as the moon and five planets emerged. It was one of those rare moments that separates flying life from the rest of our hum-drum existence. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |
