Scenic start-times

[sheep44]

What time do you start in the morning? I've looked at some of the other threads and it looks like a rather long day hour-wise. Do you start your duty day pretty early, or is it after the sun comes up?

One of the other threads mentioned not getting home untill after midnight. Do you fly much at night?

Thanks.

4:10am show is the earliest in the busy season. 12 hour duty days are common. Never heard of anyone getting back at midnight though. Latest I've gotten off is 10pm. Not a whole lot of night in the summer. More in the winter, but still very little. Hard to see the canyon when the suns down.

Exactly what I was looking for.

Thanks.

How much night flying do you actually get? If it's not a lot how do you keep night current? How do you keep instrument current?

As far as I know it is all in the 121 regs. Captains do recurrent every six months so that takes care of the instrument stuff. The night I'm not sure of but you will probably get enough night to stay current anyway, according to 91 regs.

Scenic is a regional now? I think this belongs in the 135 section even if they are 121
