Flight hours
EHM-1077 Emanuele:
Regarding 1371, his account has
been frozen, probably pending investigation
from the HUB manager.
His flight list also report many duplicate
flights (and I really mean -duplicates-)
which might point to a technical problem.
Ciao ciao!

EHM-0005 Maarten:
The chance that the problems with EHM-1371 have a technical cause is very small, however; I leave all options open.

Hey guys
I agree with the others, Rico just keep on flying. As long as you are having fun and are getting your flight hours fair and square, then I don’t see anything wrong with it. But I do understand that some may find it discouraging to just see somebody getting to the top in no time. But I don’t believe that should hold you back. But then there will always be someone that will look at the roster and be discouraged. I joined EHM in January 2002, and back then it took a lot more hours (400) to become ATP. If I remember correctly at that time EHM0018 Thomas Paine had all ready flow over 500 hours when I joined, and as a new pilot that can be discouraging. But I remembered that it was suppose to be fun and not a competition. It took me something like 1½ year to become ATP, and too many that may seem like a long time. But I had a job and I worked a lot at that time. And flying was my way of relaxing. Basically what I’m trying to say is we all do our flying in our on pace. Some like you Rico do it in a rapid pace, because you have a lot of time on your hand. And others, like me do it in a slower pace. But what’s important for us all, remember to have fun!!
About the idea of making a maximum of flight hours, made me think about AirSource where I’m a pilot too. This is from there employee handbook, it may be some thing like this we should think about.

1.1.2.0 Maximum flight limitations
Just like there are set rules of minimum flights in a prescribed period of time, so there must be a
maximum threshold as well. We also take into account that our members may not be able to access
the website every day; Pilots may “pool” PIREPS together to a point. A total hour per day formula is
used to determine if a pilot is above the maximum flight hours per day quota. That threshold is very
similar to a real life limit of 10 flight hours per day. If a pilot has been at AirSource for 4 days and
filed a total of 60 hours, their average flight hours per day would be 15, 5 hours over the limit. Of
course built in protection on the website will prevent a pilot from filing flights until that average is
lowered by allowing more days to pass before filing again. The pilot above would need to wait at
least 2 days before filing another flight. The hour average in your logbook must always maintain 10
or less flight hours per day.

About Plymyphil’s proposal about making the flight logger mandatory, I like the idea. But it seams to me like that would require that when you fly you are connected to the Internet. That wouldn’t be a problem for me. But here may me pilot that haven’t that possibility. Until May 2003, I didn’t have an Internet connection. I reported all of my flight from my Internet connection at work. But basically I’m all for it.

I don't think that is the case. Certainly the previous flight logger was an offline tool that connected through to the Internet only to post the data. I sniff a wind of change in the current flight logger but I guess an offline mode would still be useful for many.
