Default Your busiest month instructing...

I'm sure I'm nowhere near the record, but from August 5th to today, I have logged 46 hours of dual given. We're short manned. Anyone want to share?

I'm banging my head against the desk this month. I think in August I've logged 25. We don't have any new career pilots this month, and my other students are on cross countries, at CFI school or done. June was my busiest month, I logged 72 hrs.

August has been terribly slow here as well. I'm praying it picks up soon or I'm screwed....

50 hours dual given in the past 10 days alone (85 hours billed), including one day off. Can't wait for the season to end so that I can sleep.

If the weather, manitainence, and luck cooperate with me, I'll be putting in about 140 a month for the next 4-5 months. I'll be going 6 hours a day, 6 days a week. I'm in a hurry to get my guys done, and get myself the hell outa Atwater. My students are down for it too. They want to get done ASAP. I don't think they like Atwater any more than I do.

Part-time evenings and weekends only with 4 part-time students - 35 hours. Pretty good for me though!

I averaged 100 hours flight/Sim per month working 5 days a week. Get's old after awhile though but you get used to it. I don't know what the most I've done in a month was.

I'm not from around here but I'm loving this valley's weather too!

Ended up with 116 hours, 108 night, and 114 XC in August.

July-110 dual given, billed about 160
August-120 dual given, billed about 180

. . . next January-probably around 50 dual, billing 100

I did work out a budget though and every paycheck thus far has been over what I figured I needed to get by.

Anyone care to explain the billed portions of this? I understand the dual given, your flight hours, is everything extra your charged ground?

Sure. I flew 116 hours. I billed about 180 hours of pay, so there's 64 hours in that month of ground lessons, pre and post pay for flights, and simulator lessons.

I hope you guys are getting time and half for any billable over 40 hrs/week (per state law if it's in there, pretty much all states have it)! 220 hrs...damn that's a lot of working.

In Raleigh I was averaging 100+ hours a month for about 8 months. Granted I experienced a major burn out towards the end.... it was faster than I imagined getting to that magical 1200.

74 hrs so far but I've only been at this a few months. I don't mind long days of flying but what I do mind is the days where I fly at 8 am and then sit around all day until 5:30 for some 30 min intro flight.
