Hello All,



Can anyone cast any light on fitting a Hobbs hour meter to a Yak 52?



Putting the indicator in is easy, but how is it turned on?  I am looking for a method that records flight hours rather than engine hours so a simple oil pressure switch is probably not going to work.



Has anyone got any other suggestions please?



Many thanks

Chris

My GPS (Garmin Aera 510) records flight hours based on the ground speed of the aircraft.  I've forgotten what the ground speed "trigger" is, but I think it is something like 25 knots or MPH.  If you do use a GPS, check the manual because I am pretty sure it logs flight time once you start down the runway and achieve a certain airspeed.  It stops counting once the speed drops below the "trigger" speed.

If the purpose is recording flight, then shouldn't that time begin when you pull out of the chalks and stop at engine shut down? BTW I use the GPS method Dennis described. JB

Flight time for your personal log log book is time out of the chocks, and time back into the chocks. Aircraft time for the airplane maintenance time and total Acft time is recorded from takeoff to landing.
