Default AirlineApps and rounding errors question

For those who have filled out airline apps, have you encountered or noticed a similar problem?

The Aircraft Totals page rounds down or up to the nearest whole number. The Flight Time by Conditions page has you input from your logbook. Since my logbook is kept by hours to the tenth, there is a discrepancy of a few hours between totals on the two pages. Although it's small (5 hours or so), it's still a discrepancy and rounding errors is the only thing I can think of that would cause it.

Anyone else notice this? Wondering if this would show up as a discrepancy on the other side.

Everybody will have errors because of the way airlineapps rounds the flight time. If you're 5hr off, with several thousand hours total time, I wouldn't worry about it.

Ah. Thanks. That's what I wanted to hear.
