hlink.net... If you're taxiing out in order to intentionally fly it sure is loggable as flight time. I posted the FAA's definition of flight time elsewhere in the thread. So if you intend to go flying and taxi to the gas pump only to find they are out of fuel, then taxi back to the hangar - you can log the time to the pump but not back. I got it!

"Jim Carriere" wrote in message ... Of course Ron, you're right, the .1 or .2 between startup and taking the runway technically aren't supposed to be logged. Ron W. didn't say that. The .1 and .2 prior to taking the runway ARE supposed to be logged. The rule again says "first moves under it's own power." As far as I am concerned, my plane moves a tiny bit as soon as the engine starts, so hobbs time is pretty accurate when it is connected to the oil pressure. Of course, in the Navion, the Hobbs meter is getting connected to the nose gear switch. Saves a little on maintenance times. |

You taxied to the fuel pumps with the intention of fueling the aircraft. Once at the pumps, you shut down. End of cycle. Next engine start you go from the fuel pumps to the runway (with the intention of flying), and that taxi time would count. Russell Kent |

Next engine start you go from the fuel pumps to the runway (with the intention of flying), and that taxi time would count. Actually, I was taxiing PAST the fuel pumps with my little heart set on flying, but then realized I needed fuel and a Snickers, so I stopped. Why am I reminded of the Orwellian concept of Thoughtcrime? Much like the current rage of Hatecrime, the intent of the perpetrator is a factor in the seriousness of the offense. Here, the intent of the pilot determines the application of the regulation. Rich "What fools these morals be!" S ) |
