A couple of months ago, the C172N I was renting had a Hobbs that was still
running even after the master was *off*. I joked with the FBO owner that
they were figuring out a new scheme to make money with the planes stuck on
the ramp.

Ok, I am *almost* embarrased to ask this question, but here goes. Do
Hobbs meters ever "go bad"? No, this isn't a joke!

I recently took a flight from KLOU-KWWD-KLOU. It was IFR and I wrote
down my off and land times, which coorespond with the FlightTracking
times within a couple of minutes.

The hobbs time was 10.7. The flight time was 9.6. Not whining here,
but it was a little hard to believe that I had over an hour of taxi/
start time on this!

Just wondering..

--Man would that be some kind of AD-- LOL!
