I guess from PIC as being all hours with prop spinning you can get to commercial hours and never leave the ground I really don't think taxi time if not for flight counts

Fellows,
Given the recently posted definitions, it seems that flight time and PIC time
are different.
Now, I used to only log flight time, but; according to the fars, I could (and
should) log PIC time.
