So I am new to this board. I got my PPL in 2017 after my first flght in Sept 2017. 56 hrs that year.

2018 I have done 250hrs, Achieved my FAA IR and EASA IR. I collected my SR22T in June and spent 4 weeks flying coast to coast in the US (Las Vegas, Grand Canyon, San Fran, LA, San Diego, Sedona, Lake Powell, Oshkosh (!), Keys, Florida and New York).

Wow ! That’s quite the start to a flying career – congrats!!

That’s some great flying. It’s always great to hear of people getting a lot of flying in.

My year was very disappointing, with my airfield being closed and unable to fly for most of the year.

2019 will just be to do more flying, improve my skills. Hopefully some more aeros and do a few longer trips if possible.

2018:
Total 102h 30min
Flown a G1000-equipped C172.
About 30h of IFR training.
A (for me) very long and pleasurable VFR trip all the way to Corsica.
A few cancellations still, despite the super sunny summer.

2019:
Have not flown in 2 month, feeling rusty. Even worse for the NQ.
Looking at investing in an own plane, I have test flown a couple but not been able to come to a decision.
Complete the CB-IR already. Off to do the MET exam after I click on send for this post.

ESMK, Sweden

Good luck!
