"Carl Orton" wrote in message ...
I, like most (assuming) started logging their flight hours based on Hobbs time. I recently purchased a plane that does not have a Hobbs, but does have a digitial count-up timer. For consistency with my previous logged time, is there any issue of logging via the timer time as opposed to using the tach time? I know the FARs say I don't have to log except for currency or new ratings, but I log every flight regardless. Guess what I'm saying is that since most of my flights are ~2.0 hrs clock time cross countries, but 1.? tach time, and since I'm working on my 50hrs cross-country for IFR reasons, I can get there just a bit quicker using wall time as opposed to tach time. Any issues I should be aware of? Thanks; Carl A Stop Watch or a timer is the best Way to log Time, However Generally for TO and landing practice you can take the Tach Time and multipy by 1.2 to something close to Real time. On Cross country flights mulitiplying by 1.0 or 1.1 might be better. Brian CFIIG/ASEL |

Brian Sorry, you do not get to log the "taxi" time unless the glider is self-launch. FAR 1.1 (2) "For a glider without self-launch capability, pilot times that commences when the glider is towed for the purpose of flight and ends when the glider comes to rest after landing" Please see my post of 6-28 to see why tach time should not be use.
