Thanks.


If you could push up the power and get 25 Tach hours a day, would you only log 24?


If all you're concerned about is cheap hours, use a good pen. Pay for an hour, log 2. If your conscience bothers you, fly 1, pay for 2, and log three. It's all about hours, right?



I'd recommend you stop worrying about the slight difference between what your tach says and what your watch says, and start thinking about building EXPERIENCE instead. Concentrate on becoming a better pilot, not just a better resume.



Just my 2¢ worth.
