Should I log Gate turnbacks in my logbook

[Amish RakeFight]

Taxi time can be logged.

I am not over thinking anything. If the airplane did not land, then it did not fly, and it is not flight time. It is right there in the reg that was quoted. I agree that all flight time counts toward max flight/duty times including taxi time if flight was involved.

Yes, you can log it. You are also required to count it towards your flight time limitations. Read the following faa interpretation.
