All of your FTDT hourly limits are based on out and in, not off and on.
The ACARS will start your block out time when NOT being moved under it's own power.
So per the FAA. the "out time" recorded by the plane being pushed by a tug should not be counted as flight time but it will be counted as flight time as it relates to FTDT hourly limits?? Doesn't make sense. Well, it's the FAA
In the end. It doesn't matter. Most of the guys I fly with don't even keep a logbook, they sure as heck don't care about whether that .1 was legit.
Military guys, it's different. But 121 guys, just log the out and in and call it a day.
