So I was wondering how many hours per month the average pilot actually logs? Post some different numbers depending on what type of flying you are doing; for example: How many hours does the typical airline pilot fly, corporate, instructing, etc.
During summer, I average 80-100+ and winter 40-60+ in various missions (702, 703).
Thanks.

704 operation, 110-117 per month in the summer. Usually almost maxed out on the 30's and now the 90's are becoming a problem.

100 hours per month the last year. Too bad I've already got that ATPL, could've shaved off a lot of waiting time.
