|
It’s taken a while but yesterday my Pulsar clicked over 500 hours.
I did the first flight in December 2000, so that is 500 hours in 14 years. Not a huge average, and it has taken forever to get over 500, having had that number in my sights for more than a couple of years. The excuses are we have moved house twice in that time, been in our current house for about 6 years and it takes me more than 4 hours to mow the lawns [grass] at least every 2 weeks. The last year has been particularly slow because I had an aortic valve replacement just 4 months ago. That slows you down a bit, but now I’m pretty well back to normal and back flying again.
Looking forward to the next 500.

Brian,
Congrats - - - Jolly good show - - - Chapeau ! !
BTW Did the NZ aero/space guys give you a hard time to get your physical
back ? ? ? Or did you never lose it after your heart operation.
Our FAA would have given us fits.

Awesome milestone. Fondly remember our trip to NZ years ago & getting a small part of that 500 hours! Need to come to NZ again.

Hi Bernie,
The CAA in NZ has the usual tough medical requirements, and if I still had my PPL and class 2 medical then I would have had an automatic stand-down period of 6 months, followed by extensive tests etc etc. with no guarantee of getting my medical back.
I changed to an RPL [Recreational Pilots Licence] a few years back and this has a completely different medical regime - - a passenger endorsed vehicle medical, issued by your regular doctor. Essentially it is the same as for a “microlight” in NZ. When this was first introduced CAA were still trying to operate a system of veto, and would impose ad-hoc requirements and restrictions on top of the other medical. That has since been rationalised and CAA now have no involvement in the process.
The recovery process seems to take forever, but I am now back cycling regularly, and feeling perfectly normal. It’s rather a traumatic experience though.
I should be thankful for the regular medical checks. They first picked up the aortic stenosis a few years ago, so each year since we have been monitoring the progress of the deterioration. When it got into the severe category I decided with my cardiologist that it was time to do something about it.
Regards,
Brian
