No - one hour does not equal one cycle. A cycle on the main engines is one takeoff and one landing. There is also an APU engine on some aircraft and a cycle on those is just one start up and shutdown.

No, 1 cycle refers to 1 TakeOff and 1 Landing.

most of them got the first part right. it is NO one cycle is = to one flight from the first destination on your flight plane to the next. you dont have to land at that port you can fly over and then head off to your next stop.
eg: if i fly from HTR london to JFK usa and bad weather hits JFK you must go to your alternate Airport once landing there you log 2 cycles.
