Tach time vs Hobbs time

[Fearless Tower]

My experience was only a 15% boost from tach to actual with my old C182. Your mileage may vary

Like I said above, how you use the airplane can make that number vary greatly.

I'm not arguing this, but it seems counter intuitive to me. To me, "flight time" doesn't include time spent taxiing. If it did, wouldn't we all be entering the few minutes one spends taxiing the plane from the hangar to the shop? Or to the gas island?

I note the time when I'm cleared for takeoff, and I note the time I pull off the runway at my destination. That's what I enter in the books. I may be cheating myself, but I'm quite sure no one will ever be able to challenge the hours I have in my logbook. (Not that I'd care.)

Interesting way of looking at logging. Army doesn't start to log until take off roll as well. They continue to log once clear of the runway at the destination though. Most add 10 % to their civ logs.

As long as you are meeting your 90 day currency, which way you log time isn't all that important.
