Just to digress a little! I am a possible descendant of a convict being a Tasmanian👍👍👍👍👍 Maybe 4th or 5th generation?

I’m sure this will get a good response!!!!

Ok Duck Pilot! Struth Mate, you really have the deck stacked against you there!!:=:D I mean, you know what they say about the 'criminal type.' All tarred with the same brush etc etc. And you're a Tasmanian an' all!:eek: Possible inbreeding maybe.... No.... definitely not to be trusted....:= But the worst bit....You were/are a PNG bush pilot!:eek: Aren't they (we) all death defying cowboys????:E

Of course there's yours truly. 5th generation Aussie from fine Germanic stock. Father's side from Prussia (Great Grandfather was just over 6 foot, blonde haired and blue eyed.:ooh:) and Mother's side from Silesia. 'Goosesteppers' the lot of them!:ugh:

Right, now that we have exhausted all stereotypes.....

Check your PMs Pinky.
Thank mate and happy new year, don’t forget to check my website out.

If you had an accident and damaged the plane do you think the authorities would say it doesn’t count because you never got airborne? 10 minutes taxi time is not worth arguing about but I agree with those that say log it

If you got airborne but then crashed into water, do you log anything? There was no landing.

If you are that desperate to log the time for the aborted takeoff, get a separate logbook to put all your pretend hours in.

If you got airborne but then crashed into a paddock, do you log anything? There was no landing.

What if you ‘crashed’ three hours after take off?

How far do you want to take the ‘no landing’ business as an argument for not logging time?

Quite a few times over the years I've not actually gotten airborne, issues during run ups in piston planes, cancelled flight/s. Returned to gate due a no-go ECAM etc, NONE where logged as that's not in the spirit of what a pilots log book is for, no flight was completed

The word "landing" does not appear in the relevant definitions.

It is worth reading what the words say. There's always a risk that they mean what they say.

OK, to be less subtle, LANDing is different from crashing into WATER. No LAND involved. And the book says nothing about watering, just landing.

What BOOK uses the word LANDing?

That's because after watering there will be a landing, on the sea bed.

I’m just glad to see there are schools out there who are teaching static rpm these days. I come across so many pilots who aren’t aware of this parameter in a fixed pitch prop or what over/under speed of this means.

Well done, btw...👍

I wonder how casa would define the transition between atmospheric and space flight, how it’d be logged and who would be responsible for the regulatory oversight.

So the next topic.

logging IF time.

See ya.

This.

Even today in the airbus, when I hit take off power I personally run down the engine guages at the start of the take off roll ... Eight, Six, Nine, Three. (and matching left/right needles).

80-something% N1, Six hundred somethingºC EGT, 90-something% N2, and 3 thousand something fuel flow. That's a personal thing, a "reasonable-ness" check not a company SOP, and if it isn't 8-6-9-3 then it's enough to trigger me to wonder why (i.e. sometimes it's 90-something% and 7 hundred somethingºC on a heavy take-off).

I notice in Low-Thrust / mis-set thrust accidents and incidents, very rarely is there recognition of the low thrust, or a trigger to do something about it. For Example: Air Florida Flight 90 (Winter Potomac river crash)
The aircraft crashed into the Potomac river with two good engines - just set with low power all the way to the crash.
