(1) Pilot time that commences when an aircraft moves under its own power for
the purpose of flight and ends when the aircraft comes to rest after
landing....

That may be "legal," but I look at my watch when I add power to take
off and again when I roll out after landing. Probably a habit I picked
up in service.

Once (as a civilian) I sat on the ground at the end of runway 18 at
DCA for more than 30 minutes (about 5 p.m.) watching airliners
land--one after another. Didn't seem much like flying.
