Hello ALL.

I am a new member to the Forum, My name is Alan and i live in England in the County of Kent, my nearest Airfield is Headcorn which has a grass runway.

I am not a builder but a retired pilot now 66 so decided to spend every penny on a new car and an aeroplane before the Tax man takes it to pay for my Old Folks Home, so i have my first aircraft G-PEGY Mono to Tri Conversion.

My Question , G-PEGY has a FLYdat which start timing after the first impulse .

This has been recorded in the log book, the aircraft has 330 Airframe and 408 hours on the engine, 

All the flying i have done in the past i have reduced the Tacko  reading by 10 mins which has been standard practice, 

Rotax are logging all engine run time. Is this right ?

Many thanks

Alan

Hi Trev and All.

OK Flydat records ALL, At the beginning of the log book they have taken off 10 min per flight, then there is a jump from say 45 hrs to 65 hrs this is when the FLYdat  was installed  and a correction made so the FLYdat has taken into account the earlier flights adding back the 10 mins so now  has the correct number in total. 

So on a Europa just what times should be recorded in the log books,?

Airframe, Flight time only ?

Engine, Start till Stop?

Propeller, ??????
