What flight time categories are added together to make up total time?

• A. Flight Time Hours, Duty Time, and Flight Duty
• B. Ground Time, Air Time, and Rest Time
• C. Total Time, Student Time, and Civilian Time
• D. Primary Time, Secondary Time, Instructor Time, Evaluator Time, and Other Time

Answer: (D)

Total flight time is found by adding together all the flight-related time categories that reflect actual flight activity and supervision. Primary Time is the time the student is in control during flight, Secondary Time covers flight time when the student isn’t the primary controller but is still engaged, Instructor Time is the time the flight instructor is in the cockpit, Evaluator Time is when an evaluator is in the cockpit, and Other Time accounts for any remaining flight time not in those categories. When you sum these, you get the total flight time. The other choices mix categories that aren’t used to form the total flight time: Ground Time and Rest Time are not counted as flight time, and terms like Air Time or Civilian Time don’t align with the standard breakdown used for logging total flight time.
