What time is used for your TOTAL EET on your 1801?

• A. The total En Route Time from your Flight Log
• B. Takeoff time
• C. Local time
• D. Flight time including climb and descent

Answer: (A)

En Route Elapsed Time is the time you expect to be flying between navigation points on your route. For the TOTAL EET on the 1801, you add up the en route times for each leg as recorded in your flight log. This sum represents the actual time spent flying between points, excluding ground time like taxi and the climb or descent phases. Therefore the TOTAL EET comes from the flight log’s leg-by-leg en route times. Local time or takeoff time are clock references, not elapsed flight time. Including climb and descent would mix in portions of the flight that aren’t en route time, which is why those options don’t fit.
