Hey guys I have been here a few months now and me and a friend who has just joined are wanting to get our XP up without doing endless touch and goes!!!
Anybody suggest an overnight long haul route and good weight levels, plane etc or anybody got a better idea!
Basically I am 17000XP and I want to get to grade 3 within the next few long haul flights. Any suggestions also to lift XP on my normal flight.
Also quick question: Do you get XP for controlling???
@Chris_S sorry if this is the wrong place I was slightly unsure

You can do touch and goes for mass XP.
I highly would recommend PADK in a C208
Also you don’t get XP for controlling

XP is calculated by time and landings so either do touch and goes or go for a long flight

Suggested Airports for Pattern Work
Often times I find myself with five or ten minutes of free time between meetings, when I’m waiting to pick up the kids somewhere, or doing something else simply killing time. Not enough time to do a short haul, but enough time to go check out some random airports and do some pattern work.
What I want to ask the community is: When you have a few moments to spare, where do you like to do pattern work?
Here is a link to a map of airports submitted in this thre…

If you opt for pattern work, look for an airport with gusty winds…you will get more XP in windy conditions…plus you get the landing count up. One of the many reasons why I like the Pacific island airports…

16 hours and you get 10 000 XP
25 minutes in the pattern with winds of 30G45kts will give you 12,500xp. 😉
