However, surely at 12,000 take offs and landings (plus) there wouldn't be to many more experienced commercial pilots out there. Cheers M

Going back a few years, Virgin Blue 737 Brisbane to Gold Coast (Flying up from Sydney had diverted to Brisbane due to storms) I think was only 7-10 minutes....

12,000 to be honest Mark, isn't really thaaaaaat many over the career of a commercial pilot. I've got nearly 5,000hrs and at a guess, I reckon I've probably done 6-7,000 landings. Never counted so couldn't give an accurate figure. The average total time of a pilot by the end of his/her career could be around 20-30,000hrs. Depending on what they did during their career.

Thanks Mick. Interesting for me to read seeing as though I don't fly.
Cheers M

When I worked for East Coast Airlines in 1985 I think, which became Eastern, Eastern Australia and now Qantaslink, some of their flights from Newcastle to Sydney went via Maitland or vice versa. I think the Willy-Maitland sector was about 7-8 minutes in the Bandit and I travelled on that many times.

Here is another really short flight which will start in April. A 10 minute hop from Vienna, Austria to Bratislava, Slovakia to be flown by FlyNiki.

My shortest flight was ferrying a Cessna 172 from Bankstown to Hoxton Park, just over 12km as the crow flies. The exciting part was there was no door on the left side, and I remember checking my seat belt several times before take off - 1500ft is a long way down.

Back in my GA days I had to very numerous aircraft (including turboprops) SY-BK-SY.
The BK-SY flight could take up to 30-40 mins, but SY-BK could be done in around 10 mind or less. My quickest flight (in a turboprop) was taking off in 16R, on contact with DEPs I reported BK in sight and they cleared be direct to final for 29R. Flight time was 5 mins. Also while in GA I used to fly a freight aircraft on the BK-PEC-WLM-MND (and return) with the PEC-WLM and WLM-MND legs taking 6-8 mins. A few years latter when I moved to regional airlines we routinely flew sectors around 10 mins in turboprops. |
