Too right Slowrotor,
I fly the S300 and am charged from lift to land; flight time only. Although I did go to another school that seemed to be cheaper but then I found out they charged from rotor start to engine-off. Can make the difference of 10-15 minutes of cost.
If an aircraft's maintenance schedule is based on a particular criteria, then should this same criteria be how the customer is charged? Or am I just a simple accountant?
So, anyone learning or training - find out how they measure the chargeable time!
Cheers
