How many real pilots here?

[Cydon Prax]

On fs most the time you're not even watching the controls, engine guages, etc. Such as missing one or two ATC messages because your
really watching T.V. that's not true fs hours! FS hours are combined landings, take-offs, startups and taxi's. Oh, and emergencies.

I have maybe 20 RL hours? I know I have ~50 landings and take-offs. Have flown one passenger, and.. lol, that's all. But meh, only 16 I
get to take it slow! Good luck to those not yet starting, your not far behind if your a vivid simmer.

Edit: Edited the word ''Your to you're'', minuss well just of said ''you are''..

I have been taking flying lessons in a C-172 started ever since I was a kid. Now I am 28 I have not found the time to go through ground school. I
guess from the beginning till now I have 65 hrs... Most of my friends say ::::You dont have your private yet????? Yeah I know lol bills always get
in the way I have 2 jobs so its pretty tough saving up for Comair 1 of these days....

I claim about 180 real world hours, mostly on 172s. Most exotic experience was landing a 310 under supervision at Dulles. Jump seat
rides in the company Lear, Falcon and 727 not counted.


Now its just Microsoft Airlines. Sigh

We're not allowed to jumpseat on the company's 727s anymore...not since 9/11. TSA rules forbade the cockpit jumpseats. Only
jumpseats we get is on the widebody aircraft since most of the seats are outside the cockpit area. It's too bad...I always enjoyed flying in
the cockpit with the big iron drivers. I must admit, however, one Airbus crew allowed me to ride in the cockpit two years ago...I was the
only jumpseater on the aircraft, so they knew I wouldn't "snitch" on them...hehehe! Plus, the crew signed over one month's pay to me for
keeping my pie hole shut about it Just kidding, that part never happened...or did it? I'll never tell
