Flight Training Session Types

This article explains how to customize session type names in flight training programs.

Overview

FlightLogger uses default names for the different types of sessions that can be built into flight training programs. These default names are designed to align with common regulatory terminology, but your school may use different terminology internally — or operate under a framework with its own naming conventions.

This setting lets you replace the default session type names with custom names that match your school's language. Once saved, your custom names will appear everywhere these session types are shown in FlightLogger.

Default session type names

FlightLogger includes the following session types for flight training programs:

  • Flight Lesson
  • Stage Check
  • Final Stage Check
  • Official Skill Test
  • Proficiency Check

How to customise session type names

  1. Go to Administration -> Account Settings
  2. Scroll to the Flight Training section
  3. You will see a list of all session types, each with a Default name column and a Custom name column
  4. Click into any Custom name field and type your preferred name
  5. All fields must have a name before you can save — no field can be left empty
  6. Click Save to apply your changes

Your custom names will immediately take effect across FlightLogger.

Resetting to default names

If you want to go back to the original FlightLogger names at any point:

  1. In Administration -> Account Settings -> Flight Training, click Reset to default
  2. All custom name fields will revert to their default names
  3. Click Save to confirm

Where custom names appear

Once saved, your custom session type names will be shown in:

  • Flight training program overview — when viewing the sessions within a program
  • Session builder — when adding or editing sessions in a program
  • Program revision overview — when reviewing program revisions

Things to keep in mind

  • Custom names are account-wide — they apply to all programs and all users at your school
  • Renaming a session type does not change the underlying type or its function; it only changes what it is called
  • If you operate across multiple regulatory frameworks (e.g. EASA and FAA), consider choosing names that work across both, or align with your primary framework
