In fact, most of my IMC time was accumulated flying for Angel Flight South Central. But I still can't understand how you managed to rack up so much IMC time. It took me about 3 years to rack up 75 hours of actual IMC, and I've been known to actively seek it out. South Central would be Texas, no?

: South Central would be Texas, no? Aren't most of your clouds the type that make nasty thunderstorms? Some, especially in spring and summer, but not necessarily most. In the winter we get lots of relatively benign clouds. Texas does cover a rather large area, though, and it varies somewhat by region. -- Regards, Stan |

I can't recall the last time I scrubbed a flight for T-storms. I suspect, though, that much of the difference may be vertical development. In my neck of the woods, a summer IFR flight of 2-3 hours might only involve 20 minutes in the soup, mostly in small chunks. Michael |

Peter,
I didn't mean at all to be inflammatory. I was just curious how you had amassed so much actual in such a short time. I fly a '65 Cherokee Six. Solo in the winter I can see climbs better than 1500 fpm, but in IMC I try to keep the climbs tame. Fully loaded on a hot summer day, I often struggle to get 500 fpm. My flights tend to be cross country, about 3 hours is typical, and more often than not it is only IMC on one end. If I were to go up on an IFR day and fly approaches to the local airports, that could easily boost my actual time considerably. PVD is about like HFD for weather, although ours goes down before HFD often because of the proximity to the water. I don't get much IMC in the winter because of the icing potential. I am envious of the amount of flying you get to do. I've been averaging a bit over 100 hrs/yr. There just aren't enough hours in the day or dollars in the bank to get much more than that. --Ray Andraka, P.E.

Running a small business eats most of those hours up, I'd suspect. -- Peter ----== Posted via Newsfeed.Com - Unlimited-Uncensored-Secure Usenet News==---- http://www.newsfeed.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! 100,000 Newsgroups ---= 19 East/West-Coast Specialized Servers - Total Privacy via Encryption =--- |
