All hourly aircraft maintenance is based on tach time.Īs a club member, you are provided insurance coverage while flying club airplanes. We charge by tach time, because we are interested in only covering our costs, not making a profit. For flights where you spend a lot of time at low power settings, such as practicing in the pattern, you could see savings of 10-15% over Hobbs time. The net effect is that you will see a lower tach time than Hobbs time for the same flight. Tach time, however, runs faster when the engine is running faster (approximately real-time at a cruise power setting) and slower when the engine is running slower. Practically all commercial FBOs and flight schools charge Hobbs time, which runs at a real-time rate while the engine is running. Members are charged by tach time, not Hobbs time. Time measured on the Tach, not the Hobbs meter.Fixed costs are covered by the initial membership fee and monthly dues, while variable costs are covered by the hourly flying rate. There is no profit being made, so costs are kept to a minimum. Members pay just what it costs the club to keep the aircraft flying.
