Rotary time
Have a buddy who flies CH-47 and has 850 TT. Do you, like fixed wing, increase total time going to civilian time? Example, isnt it like 1.2x TT for fixed wing or somewhere aroung that number? Thanks in advance!

Any military time is converted. Its because the civilian world counts taxi time as flight time.
|
whats the conversion rate though?
|
It used to be 1.3 to 1.

I knew there was a .3 in there somehow. Thanks for the correction.

It's for adding in taxi time to come up with total flight time per FAA regs (movement with the intent to fly).
How much taxi time does a helo typically have???? |

Actually, a LOT of taxi time. At NAS North Island, for example, you had to taxi to the active runway for takeoff just like a fixed wing.
It was pretty funny, considering the whole place is one huge concrete pad. In fact, there's an old Errol Flynn movie from pre-WWII that was shot at NASNI. They just wheeled the biplane fighters out of the hangar, pointed them into the wind and off they went. |
Bottom line: depends on the company your are applying to. Never assume, always ask.
Good luck to what ever endevors are. |
