Hello Mark, You wrote:
1) "PS: Great Kitplane's article!"
Thank you for the kind words. Apparently you have read the article that I
wrote for Kitplanes magazine on pilot flight time. I have not seen that
issue yet.
2) "I think this now meets the FAR's for logging flight time but feel free
to correct me if I am wrong."
I think that the primary message of my article was that almost nobody kept,
or could keep, pilot flight time in strict compliance with the regulations
so therefore (almost) everybody is doing it wrong. If (almost) everybody is
doing it wrong then we must all be part of one big happy (non compliant)
family and we should enjoy the number that we write down or give out for
pilot flight time and not get all wrapped around the axle about the exact
size of that number.

PS: I have another pending Kitplanes article on maintenance logbooks for EAB
(Experimental Amateur Built Aircraft). Will be looking forward to your (and
others) reaction.

Hello OC,
BIG SKIP
Mark
PS: Great Kitplane's article! Back when I was first learning to fly my
instructor told me a trick so that Hobbs time could be used for flight time
directly. He said to as you start let the aircraft move forward a foot so
that the aircraft is no longer in the parking position and has moved under
it's own power. I still do this today mainly as a brake test. Then at shut
down do it so that it is not in the final parking position. This is not
really an issue most of the time anyway since you normally need to push the
plane back into it's parking spot. I think this now meets the FAR's for
logging flight time but feel free to correct me if I am wrong.
