Interesting LASORS observation, could save you money?
heres an interesting observation..
from 2005 LASORS
"Helicopter flight time The total time from the moment a helicopters rotor
blades start turning until the moment the helicopter finally comes to rest at the end of the flight and the rotor blades are stopped"
so... if you're doing flight training on a Schweizer 300 - no rotor brake so the rotors take a while to stop after you pull the mixture (say 4 mins), and when the hobbs/datcon mater doesn't start until the pressure in the gearbox reaches a certain amount (say 1 min).... a 1.0 hour flight by the meter can be logged as a 65 minute flight.
so... say you pay for 150 hours training, you can officially log 150 x 65 = 9750 mins = 162.5 hours.
12.5 hours for free. about £3,000. not bad eh?
