anyways - back to the hobbs meter
Gatorman said:It was installed in the aircraft for a reason, to record aircraft time in service. Stall6 is right that there are quite a few aircraft the have them on a WOW circuit, but I do not think that it would apply to a late 1960's model Cessna. (I could be wrong here - correcrt me if I am)
To disable a Hobbs on an aircraft would be the same as if you disconnected the odometer on your car. Dishonest and is llegal.QUOTE]
Checking the TDCS's for late 60's 172's, a hobbs meter is an option and not required. The tach hour meter is usually used to track TIS.
One more reference for the requirment for a tach: 23.1305 (b)
(2) A tachometer indicator for each engine.
