New: Hobbs and tach readings on flights
September 2026 · Flights & Aircraft
Aircraft that record a Hobbs or tach meter now keep those readings on every flight. Your aircraft logbook shows the meter readings and the time flown, so hours always agree with the meter.
What changed
Section titled “What changed”- Readings are required on flights for aircraft that record a Hobbs and/or tach meter. The flight form shows those fields and helps you fill them in.
- The logbook shows meters. Start, end and time for each meter appear in the export, in decimal hours, for the meters the aircraft records.
- Hours follow the meter. When an airframe clock is changed, the affected flights are recounted, and an undo is available.
- Clear messages tell you what is missing when a meter reading is not accepted.
Aircraft with no meter configured are not affected.
