About 150h dual with 920h TT
I train myself (IFR approaches, VFR traffic patterns) about 4h each month among about 180h a year
160 of 660 making…24.2%
It’s amazing how few people have the training time column in their logbooks. Or perhaps after you are on your 3rd or 4th one, it doesn’t get carried over.
I always carry it over because I need to state it when applying for licence renewal. However, it’s practically at same number since my ME/IR training 6 years ago.
Emir – doesn’t your annual IR proficiency check count as training?
MyFlightbook says I have 98h TT of which 44h are PIC, which leaves me with 54 for training.

That’s why I wrote “practically” – it’s some 8 hours in 6 years plus some 4 hours for SEP check every 2 years. Legally, I’m PIC even during these checks, so legally it’s not training,
It’s very interesting to me because although I always knew that recurrent training is required to remain proficient (& legal), I didn’t realize that it would amount from 20-25% of my flight time (not talking formal training, more about all these flights that I take just to be confortable flying real trips with family & friends, or new learning experiences).
FWIW, our CAA is of the opinion that for any flight with a FI, the FI gets to log PIC. At least that is what the FIs tell us, but most of them don’t care for hours anyway, so I wouldn’t expect them to misstate anything. So I’m bound to get at least 1h of training every year (club requires a yearly proficiency check).
