The EET entry on the DD 1801 for an IFR flight is the total of which time?

• A. Estimated T/O Time to Destination on your Flight Log
• B. Estimated Enroute Time
• C. Time from Takeoff to Touchdown
• D. Ground time to destination

Answer: (A)

Estimated Elapsed Time is the total time from the moment you lift off until you touch down at the destination. On the DD 1801 for an IFR flight, the EET field is the total airborne duration as estimated in your flight log—taken from the planned takeoff time and the estimated arrival time at the destination. It represents the entire flight time from departure to arrival, not just the enroute portion. Therefore the best choice is the estimated takeoff time to destination as logged. Enroute time only covers the middle portion of the flight, and ground time to destination would refer to time spent on the ground or taxiing; the total airborne time is what EET captures.
