not quite.... my experience says that every flight is different and i did read this also on some training material....
In fact you could have to hold enroute on some flights or maybe there could be a high tail/head wind, maybe u taxied to a far runway.... all
factors that can make u spend more time, u cant just record exact flight time and re-use that for a future flihgt, u might get an idea of the
flight time but it would be a mistake to use it as exact.
Just get a flight planner like FSnavigator 4.7 or even the free 3.0 version.... you can set waypoints and have a flight time calculated based
on the speed of the plane, add/substract time as wind factor and add a general 20 minutes (10 for each) taxi edit where necessary and u
got a nice flight time. There are a lot of flight planner out there and if u are with some VA or simulating a RW flihgt then no worry for the
flight time, u have to fly according to the time published and try to make the FP and set speed as needed. Not a simple job but not hard
either
