Well, I started looking at my logbook to see where I am going to come up short as I start preparations for my ATP. I am blowing through a thousand hours and figured that now is the time to start looking at where I will need to focus for the minimum requirements.
I have a friend that was ready to start his ATP, but his night hours were really low. I have the same problem. I also have a cross country problem. It looks like I have about 300 hours of X/C but need a minimum of 500. At the rate I am going (instructing a lot of primary students) it will take a long time to accumulate that extra 200. I think this will be more difficult than grabbing the rest of my night (100 hours is required, I have a little over 60).
In any event, it looks like I will need to ramp up my cross country AND my night flying over the next two or three or four..... years to get this accomplished.
... In the mean time, I am really trying to find the time to get my Sea Plane Rating down in Florida. I think this will be really fun.
I also found out that since I have my commercial rating, I will need to do the Sea Plane rating to commercial standards, and will be issued a Commercial Sea Plane rating - I would be unable to get a "private pilot sea plane rating." How cool is that?!?!
