Ideally, F/A-18 pilots should be flying for 16.2 hours per month. Last summer, F/A-18 pilots hit their “low ebb” of 8.8 flight hours per month per pilot, which was “unacceptable,” he said.

For the past two years, the Marine Corps has been working to give pilots more flight hours, Davis said. In June, all pilots received 0.7 more flight hours than they flew in May, said Davis, who described the improvement as a “gain of inches.”
