How many flights in a day?
-
@usafpga:
I treat it like the RL Air Force. I fly two training sorties to the range per day Monday thru Friday a couple of hours apart to stay sharp, and fly MP with my squad mates.
From what I know, there is not much countries with this kind of flight hours rythm…
Most of NATO/west block countries fly around 150~220 flight hours a year, while NATO norm is 180.
Here is some average statistics (this might change according to aircrafts flown) :
France : 180+/-
Japan : 200
UK : 180~200
Germany : 180+/-
Israel : 200+
Canada : 200+
China : 150+/-
Russia : 100+/-
South Korea : 135+/-So, I really doubt that USAF makes 2 sorties a day : let’s make some calculations :
Monday to friday makes 5 days,
A year has 52 weeks, this makes 260 working days.
In 2015, USAF had 7 federal holidays, so, it makes 253 working days.
Remove 3 weeks of average payed holidays in a year (like winter or summer), it makes 238 working days in a year…
So, with two sorties a day, it would make 476 flight hours a year, while the latest cuts in Air Force budget demanded to reduce to 120 flight hours a year most of pilot’s allowance… This makes exactly an average of 1 training every two days…
Just my little 100 yens on that point, which is nevertheless, really interesting, because checking reality might be sometimes surprising from the simulation point of reference!
