It's been an hour and eighteen minutes. Do you log it as 1.3? Do you log
it
if you actually managed to get three feet in the air for twelve seconds
before
aborting the takeoff and landing again on the mile of runway remaining?


If your intent was flight (even if you didn't get off
the ground), then my understanding is that you can
indeed log it.

And why not? In the hypothetical (it *is*, right?), he got the engine
started, talked to Departure, Ground, and Tower, dodged big iron and
got to the starting point of the runway at a huge, confusing
airport...that's lots more work than I do to go around the patch at my
non-towered field.
