HC Deb 03 February 1994 vol 236 c897W
Mr. Redmond

To ask the Secretary of Slate for Defence what definition of flying hour is used in the recording of flight time by British military aircraft.

Mr. Hanley

British military aircraft record flight time as being from the moment an aircraft takes off to the moment it lands, as opposed to commercial aircraft where flight time includes the time the aircraft taxies for departure and on arrival.
