Not sure if I should start another thread, but does anyone know the different ways that Aircraft and training is being charged?
Of the places I have first hand experience, flight training has been charged as Airborne time plus 10 or 15 minutes (estimate of average taxi time I guess) or just airborne time. But I have heard some schools are billing and logging the time the engine starts until the engine is shut down. From talking to students from other schools they say they put the whole time into their logbook even if they have been sitting in at the hold for 45 minutes. so their well could be big discrepancies in the actual amount of airborne experience between pilots from different schools.
I might try compile a list if I could get more information as it would be of great value to prospective students.
