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.
