Some calculations are wrong in FSPax.
Off Block Time is NOT the point of time where you leave the gate! Off Block Time is the time when taxiing starts. (Error!). The Off Block
Time should begin with the pushback (if you do a pushback).
The Flight Time (Block) is (if you do not take into account the errorneous off block time) calculated in a correct way and the represent the
so called "block time".
The "time on ground" is NOT the time on ground! It seems it is the sum of boarding time and deboarding time!
The "time airborne" is NOT the time you are airborne. It is possibly the sum of time airborne and the time to taxi to the gate at the
departure airport.
I did 2 testflight to find this out. So: FSPax is errorneous in calculating the times or at least has errorneous text in the flight report.
Dan, it seems a fix is needed.
