Editing Training Programs: Major vs. Minor Changes

FlightLogger includes built-in revision control to safeguard your syllabus structure, ensure data integrity, and guarantee compliance with aviation authorities. While you can edit existing training programs at any time, the specific changes you are allowed to make depend on whether the program revision is active or inactive (has active or past students).

Major Changes

Major structural changes alter the core syllabus requirements. To protect student records and training history, major changes can only be made on program revisions that have never had students assigned to them.

The following major changes can only be made on a program revision with no students (active or been active):

  • Add lessons

  • Delete lessons

  • Add exercises

  • Delete exercises

Making major changes to an active program revision

If you need to make major changes to an active program revision, you have two options:

Minor Changes

The following minor changes can be made on any revision, active or not:

Program overview

  • Change which time columns are shown

  • Toggle the progress bar on/off

  • Toggle the remaining time on/off

Revisions

  • Edit the revision name

  • Edit the revision comment

Phases

  • Add a phase

  • Move a phase

  • Edit a phase name

  • Delete a phase

Lessons

  • Reorder lessons

  • Move a lesson between phases

  • Edit a lesson name

  • Edit a lesson briefing text

  • Edit a lesson syllabus time

Categories

  • Add a category

  • Move a category

  • Delete a category

Exercises

  • Move an exercise

  • Edit an exercise name (via the master exercise list)

Why These Rules Exist

These restrictions are part of FlightLogger’s built-in revision control, designed to:

  • Protect data integrity by preventing edits to approved programs once students have started.

  • Ensure students never experience unexpected major changes after starting a program.

  • Help flight schools prove that students completed an approved program without inconsistencies.

Making major changes to an active program revision

If you need to make major changes to an active program revision, you have two options:

  • Create a new revision using a template from an existing revision.
    *Note: Learn more about this here: Creating a new program revision.
  • Clone an existing program to create a brand-new program based on one you already have.
    *Note: Learn more about cloning a program here: Cloning a training program.
