With effect from 0800 Wed 24 Jun 26 the following changes will apply to the way we record flight details for HAC ac.
RECORD TACHO TIME ONLY
- There is no longer a requirement to record HOBBS time. Record TACHO reading only in both Plogbook and the Auth Sheets
- Billable time will be calculated by Plogbook by adding 0.2 hours to the recorded TACHO time for each flight or leg.
- You will no longer see a HOBBS reading when you book an ac out, but you will still see a HOBBS box on the Plogbook “Close Log Entry” form but you should leave it blank.
WITHDRAWAL OF PAPER FLIGHT PAYMENT SHEETS
- The paper Flight Payment Sheets currently found in Section 8 of the Ac Docs Folder will no longer be required to be completed.
- You are still required to enter the TACHO start and end readings in the Auth sheet which gives us a back up of the Plogbook data in the event of an error in data entry (or, less likely, a system failure!).
- In lieu of your signature for pre flight checks currently on the paper sheet, the SplashScreen you OK when you confirm ac book out acts as your confirmation that you have read & understood the HAC FOB and all associated Orders and Instructions and that have completed the relevant ac checks.
Please contact me if you have any questions or find any issues with the new system which will significantly reduce the admin load in the Ops Office!
