taseal · January 28th, 2007, 23:14

we always talk about TT and ME here...

how about something diff, how many landings ya got?

PoeMan · January 28th, 2007, 23:33

I'll start ya off here....

1,493 landings as of last week.

DV8Pilot · January 28th, 2007, 23:36

4092

AlexF · January 28th, 2007, 23:38

An astonishing, suprisingly, outragously 303 landings.
That's about a landing every 40 mins of flight time! (and yes, my landings are equal to my takeoffs)

Don't you count bounced landings as 2-3-4 landings?

Man, I have got to work on my logbook!

jrh · January 28th, 2007, 23:51

How many landings have I sat through? Thousands.

How many landings have I performed? I think 700-some. But that number is skewed, because when I first started teaching I counted my students' landings for some reason.

How many landings in the past 90 days? About 4 or 5. Ufff...the life of a CFI...

14 1/2.

The 1/2 you're going to have to wait until NetworkJC-Las Vegas to hear about it!

Same boat here. I think I have around 600 or so otherwise.

CRJDriver · January 29th, 2007, 00:06

Speaking of logging landings as CFI. How do you log them? I know a lot of CFIs that log all of the landings becuase you are acting PIC. When I'm instructing I usually only log landings when I land the airplane or have my hands on the controls with the student (usually beginning students).

Sprint100 · January 29th, 2007, 00:16

With general thanks to Sallie Mae and mucho thanks to the Santa Monica marine layer I have 52 landings.

Derek_S · January 29th, 2007, 00:18

985 landings

Easy, just as you said. If the student landed the plane then it goes in his logbook and if you landed the plane it goes in your logbook.

I've heard the half story, it's a good one!

I have no idea how many landings I have. Hundreds? Thousands? Who the heck knows anymore.

Doug Taylor · January 29th, 2007, 00:28

That's a little "humor".

I have no idea how many landings I have as I stopped counting after I got my commercial almost 15 years ago.

texas17 · January 29th, 2007, 00:30

237 with the last 5 on my first multi flight.

JayAre · January 29th, 2007, 00:31

I don't even keep track

Yup. I think it’s pretty clear cut (as Derek’s already said).

Even if I’m demonstrating a landing to a student with his/her hands on the controls, I still won’t put it in my logbook. (really only need to log for currency, so I don’t care to log those)

Swen · January 29th, 2007, 00:46

If on landing you totaled an aircraft because gravity did its thing too well, and survived, would you still count that as a landing?

OldTownPilot · January 29th, 2007, 00:51

Enough.

Actually I finished up a page in my logbook today and I have 55.

All with some dude sittin' next to me. I really need to get that first one on my own done.

Yup.

(Opinion only) -- after a few hundred, it's kind of a useless metric.

DE727UPS · January 29th, 2007, 02:59

"how about something diff, how many landings ya got?"

I stopped counting after 4...

B767 · January 29th, 2007, 03:07

484 here

Doug, DE, any other airline pilots:

Do you guys even fill out a logbook anymore? No real need anymore ( i assume). What about the regional pilots? You guys still fill out logbooks? I assume you do cause you will eventually interview with a major and need your logbooks.

Airplanes always land hard from the right seat. I'm still confused why there isn't an MEL for that.

I only log the landings I need to log to stay current. Anything more is a waste of ink and brain power. I don't even total them up anymore.
