Do you log airborne time, or aircraft moving time?

In the US, those times are tach times (times when the engine is running).
It is generally NOT logged at all by pilots (nor is there any requirement
for the pilot to log those times).

U.S. FAR's cite that pilot can log all time in operation of airplane.
Time for maintenance purposes is for purposes of flight and means that time
the wheels are not on the ground.

Some operators have a hobbs meter activated by sqwat switch.

FAR says one should log the time the aircraft is in motion. However I
understand some people log airborne time only.

Any views?

Here in the UK, under G-reg, we can log airborne time for all
maintenance purposes, and brakes-off to brakes-on in the pilot's
logbook.

That's the same as Canada. Our aircraft journey log has columns for both
flight time (from when the plane starts moving to when it stops) and air
time (wheels up to wheels down). Flight time goes into the pilot's logbook,
and air time goes into the maintenance log.


All the best,

I use tach time.
