Taxi minutes

Taxi minutes is the configured estimate of the time the aircraft spends taxiing at one end of a flight. It is a data-entry aid only: when entering a new flight on the Log Flight screen, it prefills the bracketing times so a pilot enters two of the four rather than all four. Entering off-blocks fills takeoff (and the reverse), entering landing fills on-blocks (and the reverse), each offset by the taxi value, where the counterpart is empty and the estimate fits within known block times. Ground runs do not prefill airborne times. Editing a saved log or checking a held Watch capture preserves its recorded times and blanks; editing one time leaves the others unchanged.

Taxi minutes do not affect any charge. They do not feed billing, airborne hours, or airframe hours; airborne time is measured wheels-up to wheels-down, never derived from taxi. (Earlier versions subtracted twice the taxi value from block time to estimate airborne hours; that derivation has been removed.)

Taxi minutes are a syndicate-wide default and can be overridden per asset on multi-asset syndicates. The default is 0 (no prefill offset).
