As a student pilot in the USAF, I learned to use hours and tenths. As ain
airline pilot, we had a mechanical calculator in the ops room that input
hours and minutes from the trip log and spit out the total (in hours and
minutes). I converted that to hours and tenths since it's easer to add up
in my logbook.

It's worked for me for 40 years. Who cares if, in all that time, I've
gained or lost a few hours of flight time?

What is most popular where you fly?

How do you do it?

Advantages and disadvantages?

Your comments will be appreciated.

I use hours and minutes, figuring that when I can no longer get my head
round the math involved it's time to stop flying :-)

Nah! Just round off the time to the nearest hour and write that down.
Easy! That's what I started to do at about the 2000 hour mark.
