The phase 1 time requirement of 40 or 25 hours, per your engine & prop set-up just says 40 hours in my Ops Limits.
Most fixed gear aircraft have a very hard time capturing a real Time in Service number.
From FAR 1: Time in Service, with respect to maintenance time records, means the time from the moment an aircraft leaves the surface of the earth until it touches it at the next point of landing.
Flight Time is very easy to capture if you are using a oil pressure switch and a time recording device.
From FAR 1: Flight Time means: (1) Pilot time that commences when an aircraft moves under its own power for the purpose of flight and ends when the aircraft comes to rest after landing; (Powered Aircraft).
Since the Ops limits do not define which time should be used for the phase 1 fly-off, what does everyone use?
Flight Time and Time in Service are the only times recognized in the regs and Tach Time and Hobbs Time do not equate to either FT or TIS.
