The thing that annoys me at my club is their method of recording the times. I recently flew to a small airfield where you literally parked next to the runway. When getting back to the club I was picked up for putting 0.1 as taxying time and was told to change it to 0.2. I argued the point saying that my taxy time was about 30 seconds, but was told that's what club policy is.

I guess this must happen on a daily basis which means the aircraft's airborne times must be well out. By doing this they are reducing the airborne time they log, thus reducing how often they have to service the aircraft, which ultimately reduces their running costs. Thinking about it, is this illegal?
