Cross Country = 58%
Landings per hour 2.6

Most of my cross countries are fairly short, so it doesn't help much to balance out the occasional landing practice session.

OH, and I almost forgot....There are a bunch of glider tows in there....a great way to rack up landings.

Cross Country = 46.24 %
Landings per hour = 1.53

I'm surprised my LPH isn't higher, given that my dual percentage is a whopping 35.6%.

My night and actual IMC are both 3.75%.

I hope to see these numbers change when I start flying an RV...with a bit of luck and good weather, that'll be this Friday (can you see my RV grin, yet?).
Good luck and stay safe, Don! Very exciting.

Default Trival data?

CFII, Ag Pilot, retired TWA Jockie, retired USAF
2.168 landings per hour
23.9 % X/C

Didn't count anything but general aviation time. The CFII and Ag time runs up the landings per hour.

Paul,

Nearly a 1:1 ratio of LPH at the 35 year mark...including the airline time (15 years of LUV-jets...which may explain part of the close ratio. The rest could be the CFI/Navy/Commuter/Air Ambulance/Corporate landing-count builder operations that came before...geez, I hope I can keep this job! )

Including all:
87% X-C
29% Night
.98 LPH

Excluding Part 121:
69% X-C
13% Night
1.44 LPH

Landings per tire change might be an interesting RV stat too, eh!

Cheers,
Bob

59% x-country

1.73 landings / hour (includes touch-and-goes)

0.54 instrument approaches / hour

39.3% of the time I can't see outside (under the hood or actual IMC)

66% XC time

I did land in a strong crosswind at Tulsa Riverside a few years ago and the Tower said I could count it as three landings! :-)
