To me and I believe the FAA defines a flight as the time between take
off and landing, two circuits with touch and goes equals two flights
although you only make the one entry in the log book.

As far as the FAA is concerned, you can pick just about any takeoff and
any (subsequent) landing and call it a flight.

Or not. Absent culpability, nobody cares. The original poster made some
claim to the effect that hours on Cessnas are similar to hours on Cirruses
when it comes to comparing accident stats. They aren't. If it was cheaper
to own a Cirrus than anything else, almost anyone would own one. I put a
bunch of expensive avionics and a parachute, in an ultralight mostly because
I could afford to. With only a couple adorable exceptions, fellow pilots
all whined about my choices. Who cares?

Did you buy a new Cirrus instead of an old pressurized twin? Did you get
PPL on the way up and then lose interest and get a jet and a crew?

Nobody else's business. When there's a consensus among filthy rich hobby
pilots, I'll be grateful.
