 | Re: How many Students do you have? Right now 9, but that is in a constant state of flux. 3 checkrides coming within the next week so that will be down to 6, but I guess there are a few waiting to start up.

| Re: How many Students do you have? Some days it feels like too much. To give you an example this coming week I have 15 unique students scheduled for a total of 50 hours The week after I have 10 unique students total (5 the same as the previous week, 5 completely different) for a total of 35 hours (due to one day off). So, in two weeks I have 15 different students, 5 regulars, 85 hours booked. That's pretty average for my part 61 training. All in all though, I'd say in this past 3 month span I had 42 unique students and billed 340 hours. |

| Re: How many Students do you have? Wow.., seems like there are far busier people than me. But I do fly all 5 of my students everyday. So.. that means I'm sceduled for 5 2 hr blocks a day. That usually ends up being 1.5 hrs of flying per student or 7.5 hrs a day. It never really works out that way though for one reason or another. In any case, trying to find time to study is a challenge but I'm gonna have too if I wanna get my career started.

| Re: How many Students do you have? Are you counting ground time here? Unless you're working 7 days next week, how are you dealing with the 8 hours a day? Quote:

I Can think of maybe 4 days of instruction where I came up to 7.8 - 7.9. I work 7 days a week, every week. The day off here and there occurs about once a month or if i have special events. It's not fun all the time, but once I strap on the plane that mentality pretty much goes away. | |

| Re: How many Students do you have? 3 full time, but one of those has not be out to the port in a week. the other two fly 3 or 4 times a week, then I get the part time students to fill in some time . On average I think I get 1 flight a day. This is my second month at he flight school so things can build
