How hours count
- Your hours are the block time of your accepted flight reports, from pushback to parking. Paused time does not count.
- A report waiting for staff review counts once it is accepted. How each flight is checked is explained in How flights are scored.
- Ranks are about experience, not permissions: every member airline and every aircraft type is open to every pilot.
