Time spend from home to airborne
i'm curious about how many time do you spend from the time you close the door at your home until the aircraft/helicopter wheels/floats are off the ground?
between 2 hours and 2 hours 15 for me

Re: Time spend from home to airborne
If the plane has gas in it, and I drive to work... I could shave it down to about 10 min.
Geez did I say that....? Or just think it....?
Re: Time spend from home to airborne
door to report around 10-15mins... 5-10 once the tunnel is finished.
Re: Time spend from home to airborne
4 to 4.5 hrs, traffic dependent
Always remember your flying roots!!
Re: Time spend from home to airborne
I have gone from deep asleep into bed to airbone well inside 10m once, at night. I was really sleep fucked.
Going for the deck at corner

Re: Time spend from home to airborne
Civilian: 35 minutes from door to gate. +45min because of required reporting time.
Military: 2-2 1/2 hours depending on the brief.

Re: Time spend from home to airborne
House back door to airborne in two to three minutes, four to five if I have to pull one out of the hangar and/or back track. Much longer if it's winter, and I did not leave it plugged in.
House back door to landing in the nearest lake - six minutes.
My house back door to Doug Ronan's house front door by air - seven minutes.
On the other hand, time required to cut "the lawn" four hours +-

Always 1:15.
Back at an old job, would be anywhere from 10-30min depending on how far the hotel was and fuel situation.

1:50 minutes usually from me leaving to push back from gate. The real time consumer at my airport is the possible 10-15 minute wait for parking shuttle if I just miss it.
Re: Time spend from home to airborne
I can see the planes from my desk if the hangar doors are open. ~5 minutes to walk there when I finish up here and another 20 or so to pre-flight and prep the plane. Backtracking 4000' of runway takes a while.

Re: Time spend from home to airborne
The company car and driver arrives 2:15 before the scheduled departure time to take me to the Group Headquarters. Duty time starts ETD -60. Actual drive time is about 15 min so I have plenty of time to grab a coffee, go over the flight plan, etc.
I’m still waiting for my white male privilege membership card. Must have gotten lost in the mail.

Re: Time spend from home to airborne
15 hr commute
get there 24 hrs or so before my flight
so about 39 hrs I guess.
No wonder I am retiring.

14+ hour commute. Hit the seat the next morning, with 8 hours prone rest of course....
Re: Time spend from home to airborne
I could probably do it in under 5 minutes for a pickup, If I need to load freight, tie canoes or search for passengers it takes a little longer.
Re: Time spend from home to airborne
Leaving my house to wheels up 55 min. And that includes a coffee stop and a 45 min check in.
Re: Time spend from home to airborne
17 minutes to the school then anywhere from 5 to 25 minutes depending on the briefing to get into the air.
