Filing Flight Plan
Wanted to see what others have to say about this, whether you've been down this road or not.
Background: I have 52.6 hrs of both military (27.7 hrs) and civilian (24.9 hrs) flight training.
- RV-6
- Cessna 150/152/172
- T-6A Texan II
Losing your dream of 24 years is hard, then you move on, distract yourself with your work, and you find yourself wanting to just get back to what you wanted to do: fly. It's been over 3 years since I lost my slot, which is the last time I sat in the cockpit… I am ready to get back to it, ready to go for my PPL.
Google search "Does military flight time count towards my PPL?":
- Lots of people asking about PPL's when applying for [military] flight training
- Lots of military applying to a company
- Lots of RAF/Aussie forums… not applicable to me
- Lots of dated information: 2009, 2011, etc.
- Lots of assumptions on the part of posters
My questions:
- Does [single engine] military flight time count towards my PPL?
- Are there any conversions for this as well, or just what I have in my log?
- Are my civilian flight hours from too long ago (starting in 2009)?
Again, this is using military and civilian flight time to earn my PPL - any info/experience with this is much appreciated!
