How many hours can be saved by tracking flight time vs. tach time?
It all depends on the air traffic environment you operate in. At some airports, your taxi out time is minimal, while at others it is significant. The actual savings can be anywhere from 5-10% and up. Unlike tach time, the AAS (with an optional hour meter) only logs flight time. Because time on the ground is not registered, hours between overhauls are increased. Depending on the number of hours flown, the system can pay for itself in a very short time. This feature alone will pay for the Audio Advisory System.
