Do you fly more than 100 hours per year in your airplane? If so, you
are an
exception. How many pilots here fly a C172-class airplane over 100
hours
per year?

I'm in a flying club with a 172 and a 182. I bought a 1/3 share of a
Cherokee 180 last October.
Logbook shows: 2002: 72.9, 2003: 83, 2004: 47.6 so far

Sadly, it looks like most flights average out to 1.1 hobbs per flight.
I've been working on ifr training over the past year, so that lowers the
average.

I don't do a lot of traveling, but it's not really due to a slower
airplane. It's just life and weather that seem to do me in. I'm hoping the
ifr rating will help with the weather part. I'd have to work pretty hard to
get over 100 hours per year. (but what fun...)
