I know one pilot who doesn't have a Hobbs, and who only records about
half his actual time. Having witnessed this I personally would prefer,
in the interests of safety, to see Hobbs time as a legal requirement -
rather like an oddometer reading is required for a used car sale.
It scares me to think that there may be aircraft out there with over
2000 TBO which are being sold as less than 1000 TBO.


TBO is based on tach time, not Hobbs time.




I don't even have a timer on my tach.
Nor was there one on any of the more than 6 aircraft that I trained in.
So I don't agree with your statement.
