With built-in flight timers becoming the norm in virtually all new
avionics
(heck, even the new transponder I'm getting has one), just wondering if
folks are migrating away from using hobbs/tach time to record their
flight
time?

And if you *are* using the flight timer, have you stopped using the old
archaic "1.3 hours" method of recording flight time? Anyone using
actual
hours and minutes in their logbook instead?

The two planes I fly _IN_ (I'm never PIC, but I do ride right seat) do not
have Hobbs meters. They do, however, have three sets of digital chrono's
(ADF, Clock, Transponder).

At what point can one start recording _Flight Time_? Engine start? First
master switch?

I log time from when the airplane starts moving to the time it stops moving;
So called "block-to-block" time; Using my watch; In hours and tenths.
