What's the longest flight you've done?
Flew from Ocean City, MD to Summit, NJ to Salisbury, MD back to Ocean City. Took me about 2.5-3hrs.

I should be going on an even longer one in the coming weeks. I have to build 50hrs of flight time of which I've done maybe 10. So I have 40 more to do between now and December.

What makes it tiring?
You constantly have to be alert to several different things. Things like making sure you stay on course (maintain the right heading), the altitude, the airspeed...all of which require movement of the controls. You have to continuously scan the outside for traffic and obstacles, look for landmarks & follow the map to make certain that you're not lost, monitor and communicate on the radio's. All of that + pre-flight planning, inspection, obtaining weather information, and landing & take-off portion of flight.

Sounds like a lot of trouble. I'll let you do that :D

Welcome to africa.:D Its not that its slow,rather that they give minimal speed for maximum charge rates.They increase they bandwith speed & then introduce a bigger monthly charge.

The same applies to our cellular networks that rape the public with their outrageous charges.Many european & north american companies make huge profits this way.
