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!

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.
