Sir Osis,
Chock to chocks heah!
Do my 20 compass swings count?
Chock to chocks with intention of flight is what is logged in it's most basic idea. In the airline we start the clock when releasing the park brake for the pushback and stop the clock in the bay on the stop position. This is what counts for the log book. The maintenance counts the lift off to landing. When doing ULR (ultra long range, 17 hours endurance on pushback for 15;30 hour flight to Toronto one way, in winter) we are only allowed to log 75% of the total trip time. Boss doesn't want us to count the bunk time, so he can work us one more flight in a month. Now you can 125 hours and only count 100 in the logbook. This is unfair, the laws never changed, just the bosses!
No cheating in the Airbus, the crew schedulers have all the details before you request push and have it in the AIMS already and the Chief pilot is watching the fuel so tightly
, you can't spend another minute longer in the air anyway!
