Could anyone clear this up for FAA license. I have always used the hobbs meter, weather it was a rev or maintenence. Over the years I keep hearing this debate and understand once that starter is depressed you are responsible, but flying 109's for a number of years there was only a maintence hobbs. I logged that so if the FAA looked at my log book and the aircraft flight logs would match, its the more conservative route less likely to get into trouble if something were to happen.
I don't need to flight time for any requirements, but would like to know if the blades are turning it is considered under its own power.
Thanks
