akscott60 Posted April 22, 2014 Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 Does anyone else just sit in absolute silence? I just spent 3.5 in the Hook, mostly flying IFR. Between the other pilots, radios, crew, and other traffic, my ears are toast. I will sit in silence for at least a half hour. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WaterRooster Posted April 22, 2014 Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 I do the same thing. Civilian side, flight instructing for 8 hours of flight a day I would ride home in silence. Your not alone brother haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyreaper Posted April 22, 2014 Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 Usually go have some fun when I get a new cert./rating. Sat alone in silence correcting mistakes when I failed my instrument rating after doing a nice VOR hold and getting simulated instructions to intercept another VOR about 75 miles away. My intercept angle to the designated radial was almost 90*, examiner didnt like that. His last name was Ball, called him the ball buster. Passed the next day after shooting a LOC BC and giving him another $400. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBuzzkill Posted April 22, 2014 Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 I like quiet time at the end of the day whether I fly or not. But yeah I know what you mean. It's nice in the summer when I can go sit on the porch with a beer and listen to the trees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brackac Posted April 22, 2014 Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 Well, I see someone has already made fun of you for saying 3.5 hour is a long day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akscott60 Posted April 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 It was a long day for reasons other than sitting in the aircraft. I've done a 7.2 in the Kiowa. Didn't care about anything other than how bad I hurt after the flight. But the silence is nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
