One of the first things I learned about "flying time" was that the tachometer recorded time at a differential rate depending on engine RPM. The slower the engine turned the slower time passed. The Hobbs, on the other hand, recorded actual time. The flying club I belonged to charged for tach time. The 172 flew just as nicely at 2200 RPM as it did at 2500, although a tad slower, but the difference in cost was substantial. On average it cut my cost to fly by $5 to $6 an hour over the 400 hours I flew there. The time that went in my log book was off the Hobbs meter so I accumulated "flying time" at a standard rate.
