Operating Capacity is logged as RTO!
Just wondering how many aircraft still require a separate RTO.

I fear it's the whole "logging P2 in a light aircraft" discussion all over again.

Are these hours completely seperate from total hours?
The "total hours" column is a way of checking that you've done your sums right. So you add up all the hours that you flew in the different types of aircraft (SEP, MEP, Glider, type-rated, hot air balloon, space shuttle) and it should equal your total hours. Likewise, you add up all the hours that you did in various capacities (PIC, P2, Dual, RTO, whatever) and these should also match your total hours. The "total hours" is just that - a grand total.

In fact, if you were to fancy logging your time as Self-Loading Freight in the back of a 737 you would log that as "PAX" in the capacity column, and add it to your total hours as well.

Legally speaking, there is *no* requirement anywhere to have a certain amount of unspecified "total time". For issue or renewal of a license or whatever there's always a specification that you need to have a certain hours in a certain capacity on a certain type of aircraft.
