3WF | New Tach meter - (Archive)

This content has been archived; it may no longer be relevant.

We have added a new meter which more accurately measures the engine time relevant to maintenance intervals – when you record Tach time after a flight, you now use the new MX HOUR METER instead of the counter inside the tachometer (which has been taped over with an appropriate message to prevent accidental use):

The net effect of that change will be longer availability intervals of the plane between maintenance cycles; we’re expecting to increase those intervals by up to several days every time – which is good news!

There is no impact whatsoever on the Hobbs meter (right next to it), i.e. there is no change to how much gets charged by the hour for using the plane.
