Flight hours of an LH chopper pilot

While the PLA never publishes average number of flight hours of a LH (Army Aviation) pilot, here's an example that might be able to shed some insight.

First-class pilot Zhang Shangnian of the 77th Group Army accumulated 2000 hours crossed 12 years, or 166 hours a year.

搏击雪域高原、征战演习沙场、边境战备执勤……12年飞行生涯,2000个小时搏击蓝天,第77集团军某陆航旅一级飞行员张尚年先后参加了10多项重大任务,在祖国的万里长空留下了搏击奋飞的身影。请关注《解放军报》的报道——

Not a lot of flying hours per year, compared to western practice...
