...is this stuff measured wheels off to wheels down, or gate to gate?...

As DaveReidUK has said, no such thing as a dumb question in aviation. Dumb statements are another matter!!

This time was measured from wheels off to wheels on - as is usually the case - but I've been told the flight wasn't very much over 3 hours gate to gate!

He was the First Officer - so a good guess - but not a correct one!
