Peter,
Thanks for the clarification. I only have about 8 hours actual but over 83
hours simulated--close to 1/3 of my total time. I'll send in my application
to Angel Flight NE because it sounds like the routes would be more
convenient for me being based on Long Island.

What is the mission density? In other words, are there multiple missions
available every week or does one (that fits your profile) pop up every month
or so?

Thanks again,

Marco Leon

I am seriously thinking about volunteering. However, is the 25 hour of
actual (as in not simulated) a real requirement? on the Angel Flight
Northeast website they mention 25 hour in "type" but I see no mention of
IMC
experience.

Hey, Marco - Angel Flight Northeast and Angel Flight East, although
admittedly I have been flying only AFNE missions over the last year and a
half due to the convenience of the routes. Angel Flight NE's routes cover
mostly from Pennsylvania northeastward, whereas most of AFE's routes start
at PA and go south from there. Not too convenient for a pilot based in
upstate NY.

Certainly don't go by my word on the requirements, especially since it was
a few years ago when I joined and either my memory of them or some change
since then could account for the difference you noted.

Instead, call them and inquire directly, as you will then get the
requirements from the horse's mouth, so to speak. I do seem to remember
the 25 hours instrument time, though. The next time I talk to them I
will
also ask about this.

Peter
