Gordy - Is that for real? that makes no sense, were talking collective activated aircraft yes? Where the whole start, warm up and pre-take off checks are not included in the recorded Datcon time? In the UK as soon as the rotors are turning you are piloting that aircraft and so it's only fair you should log it. In South Africa I saw schools adding 0.1 on a 22
(on the basis that even after the engine stops the rotors are turning and that your still piloting the aircraft for a few minutes, though this is somewhat taking the P155, and simply a way for the schools to make 10% extra for free on each training flight).
By that logic do they make you take 0.1 off the time off an oil pressure activated Datcon in a 22?
(I suppose, any excuse an afternoon court
