However 121.436 c says "(c) For the purpose of satisfying the flight hour requirement in paragraph (a)(3) of this section, a pilot may credit 500 hours of military flight time obtained as pilot in command of a multiengine turbine-powered, fixed-wing airplane in an operation requiring more than one pilot." There's no other hour requirement in (a)(3) except the 1000 hrs, so I think we're forced to conclude that must be a flight hour requirement.

You're also correct as far as I know about there not being a block hour limit in 121 or 117 but I'd still be careful about logging more than 9 hours a day in my logbook because I'm not real interested in having a block hour vs flight hour discussion in an interview. As we all know, block hour logging has been the standard but we didn't have a good way to track flight hours, now we do.
"The company tracked aircraft movement for legality, for consistency I have always logged aircraft block time, this was also the company approved method of logging."

It's pretty easy to explain. Of course, if you log time by the leg the chances of anyone adding up daily flight time in the first place to see what it added up to is between slim and none.

I log by the 1/10th of the hour for my logbook, but legality is done by the minute since that is available. Thus when I was limited to 10 hrs in a day earlier in my career, I have days with more than 10 hrs as measured the 10th, but under 600 minutes so still legal.

If you're still caught up in this legality question, you need to get an actual FAA response. You could also ask the company if the FAA has signed off on this method (if it's in the FOM the FAA has signed off on it and that is the legally expected method of logging). What will be more likely to get you in trouble is changing how you log time based on how it suites you (IE, log by block until you approach 9 hours in a day and then logging movement because you are afraid of having more than 9 hrs in the logbook).

If the FAA has signed off on a method, regardless of how you like to interpret the regulations, you are legally able to use it.

Yes, this probably won't be resolved here until some brave soul calls the MSP fsdo and shares their results....

Actually I think Shadre's explaination is the best one, I'll take that.

I wonder if that's what the company was considering and just dumbed it down for the memo?

For my own sake I'm still not going to log more than 9.

I love when I get to NYC, call the hotel and they tell me to go to Federal Circle. Tell them I’m air crew and all they say is, “Federal Circle every 15 minutes.” Click.

What hotel? Haven’t had an issue with the Sheraton or Hilton, though I wish the Sheraton would get there within 15. It’s so slow.

Complete BS. Tell them to pick you up at the departure level. They will. Eventually.

Funny thing... when I request the HGI vs. the Sheraton, I am told the Sheraton is the only contract hotel. But when I get “dumped” in JFK unexpectedly, I am usually in the HGI. Love their breakfast. And the woman who runs breakfast at the Sheraton is a nazi...

But what is pilot time?
14CFR 61.1
Pilot time means that time in which a person—
(i) Serves as a required pilot flight crewmember; (ie door closure, meaning block......)

So, should we log pilot time or flight time in our logbooks?
14CFR 61.51
(c) Logging of pilot time. The pilot time described in this section may be used to:
(1) Apply for a certificate or rating issued under this part or a privilege authorized under this part; or
(2) Satisfy the recent flight experience requirements of this part.
It specifically defines flight time and requires that the aircraft move under its own power.

Yeah, I know that. Did you even read the whole post? The definition of flight time is not in question......

The flight school I did my instructing at, we did our run ups in the parking spaces before moving guess none of that time counted...I’ll be turning in my resignation effective Monday to return to the mighty 172 so I can properly accumulate my flight time. Thank you BlueSkies the knight in shinning armor!

Unfortunately you're probably junior to me or this plan is working great so far. Totally what I was going for.

Also shining has one "n". Enjoy the 172.
