Friendly FOI visits and peruses the books.
Notes discrepancy in times recorded.
Does what FOI's do.
Operator now insists hours recorded must all line up.
Now which way do you think it will go?
Pilot logbook now on air switch? Or aircraft time in service chock to chock?
Hint - some of these recording means are very adjustable.
Really? Is that an Orstralian thing, or just a retarded ops inspector? Anyplace I've ever flown which had an Ops Inspector we noted block out time, wheels off time, wheels on time and block in time. Pilot times were, of course, block to block, Mx times were wheels off to wheels on. I assumed that was the way it was done everywhere.
