My instructor gave me this information:
Log time at engine start. After all YOU
are Pilot in Command of an Aircraft not
a static display!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The rules say from the time an aircraft first moves under
power for the purposes of flight. My argument is that as
soon as the engine start it moves under it's own power (if
only to strain against the brakes).


Engine time is logged by Tach.

If you have a recording tach. My aircraft (as well as
late model Bonanzas) doesn't have a recording tach. It has
an elapsed time meter. Mine is connected to the nose gear.
My time in service doesn't include ground time.
