Which flight time is not included in a member's total time as per the flying history report (FHR)?

The total flight time as recorded in a member's flying history report (FHR) typically includes various categories of flight time that contribute to a pilot's experience and qualifications. However, student flight time is not included in the total flight time calculation.

Student flight time specifically refers to the time a pilot-in-training logs while accruing hours towards their flight training requirements. This type of time does not contribute to the formal experience that is recognized in many cases for military or civilian certifications, which necessitate a higher level of accountability and experience.

In contrast, instructor flight time, combat flight time, and training flight time are all crucial and are generally counted toward a member's total time. Instructor flight time reflects the hours spent teaching others, combat flight time indicates experience in operational scenarios, and training flight time comprises hours logged for developing skills and qualifications. Each of these categories contributes to the pilot's overall proficiency and ability to command an aircraft in various conditions, which is why they are considered in the total time reflected in the FHR.
