As long as I taxi in ~20+ knots or so it thinks I am airborne, hence the landing time is incorrect which is quite annoying when I am to write in my logbook.... Is there a way to control this setting?

Upon this posting , I took a closer look at my logs: I see no difference between Log Start/Take off and Log Stop/Landing. It is always the same time. Is thsi behaviour intended? there seems to be no Blocks off/on Timing. And I definitely tax with less than 20 knots. E.g. at the Aero I had about 40 Minutes! time queuing up for departure, so there is a large differencd between‌‌‌‌‌‌ block-time and flight-time in this case.

SkyDemon has a pretty good‌‌ algorithm for determining when you have landed, but speed is part of that calculation. If you're doing 26 knots, that doesn't sound like a taxi.

This flightlog was actually recorded in a CRJ, and we did not always taxi at 26 kts, but nevertheless the recorded landing time and the actual landing time differed almost 10 mins. Would be nice to be able to control this otherwise very nice feature.

If you're regularly taxiing at that sort of speed, the feature simply isn't for you, sorry. We don't generally add options to make such features work in edge cases because options confuse matters.
