I’m a fairly new pilot. How many flying hours should I have?

Because our tours are led and supported by an experienced local CPL and because we only fly under Day VFR conditions, even low-hour pilots can manage quite well. However, we do recommend that you take some extended cross country flights prior to arriving in country. While on tour there may be days where you have to fly up to 3 hours before lunch and another 3 hours after lunch before landing at an unfamiliar airport. If you have done this a few times at home, then you will be better prepared for it on tour. If you are the sole pilot, then we do recommend at least 250 hours of PIC time, ideally 500+.
