Corporate Pilots-Hours per year

[flywithruss]

You guys are making me jealous. We do less than 200 hours a year ... Part 91 only, King Air 200. We are a corporate operator, not a "pleasure barge" for a wealthy individual. Maybe two RONs a month on average.

If I had my way, I'd be doing 500 or so a year ... but I'm also single, which makes a big difference.

We are too, 99.5% of our flying is business related.

Thanks for the replies. Our turbo-prop and two-man flight department has been doing about 400 hours/year so it seems like it fits in right with the average. Also, we are doing about 15-20 days off and 5 RONs per month. I hope one day the "less is more" mind-set will actually be a reality but no where close right now. Thanks again.

I wasn't attempting to imply that anyone else was doing the "pleasure barge" gig ... just that those jobs usually involve less annual flying time than corporate work, and when I tell people who don't know who I work for (an NYSE listed multinational corporation) that we do only 180-200 a year, they immediately assume we fly Richie Rich to Nassau and back and not much else.

On the flip side, the two-trips-a-month schedule means plenty of time to prowl Flightinfo!

Of course, by the time I have the quals to fly the 900EX it'll be 2042, so there's the downside as well.

Who cares if it is...as long as their money is green and their planes are safe I don't care what they want to do with the plane.

I am just a taxi driver...
