Yeah, your response to the Dev mode use question makes no sense.
It’s a yes or no question, and you didn’t answer either way. I have no idea what this statement even means, relative to the question or not.
Oh, as noted above, roundy wheely things don’t get their takeoff and landing counts created either. The whole logbook is basically broken, and they’ve known it from day one. For some reason the devs are sticking to their guns on their (very abstract) definition of a take off and landing. I have no idea where they came up with their ideas, and they’re wrong.
I think this is an area where in fact they are using some sort of “gaming” rule system, where it’s not needed and makes no sense.
I get that it’s not easy to figure out what’s a bounce and what’s an actual takeoff and landing, but, I think they can figure it out. A takeoff doesn’t need to depend on a taxi leg (i.e. touch and go takeoff is considered a takeoff), nor does a landing. Sadly, the FAA doesn’t define what a takeoff and landing is, so I suppose they don’t have an official way to define them.
