4 x 10 mins of taxiing plus 10 mins is 50 minutes, which to most people is 0.8.
The same as 0.2 per sector.
You are correct, but I said 5 mins at each end, which is 2 and a half to taxi in and 2 and a half to taxi out. The first taxi out of the day takes a little longer due to initial A/C setup... subsequent sets of checks run smoother, faster.

I didn't intend on having to explain the details in my numbers, these are just the actual times that I have recorded from chocks to chocks. My intention was to illustrate how important it is to log accurate times. i.e. what you are actually flying rather than settling for a 'rule of thumb'. It isn't hard to note your chocks out at the start and chocks in at the end and using the difference.
