Resource Administration: Editing Flight Log Configuration

Timers in FlightLogger track different types of aircraft time, such as block, airborne, Hobbs, or Tach. They can be configured per aircraft and used in flight logs to record and monitor usage. Timers ensure accurate reporting, maintenance planning, and compliance, while giving instructors simple options to log times quickly and consistently.

Editing Flight Log Configuration

Choose the Flight Logs icon for the aircraft.

In the Flight Logs you decide which logs are active and what formats they use (timestamp, decimal, etc.).

Flight logs consist of three types:

  • Primary log: The primary log is the default/compulsory log, and is used for the logbook, user balances, and integrations such as accounting.

  • Secondary log: Optional and will be shown in reports, for example the Aircraft Report.

  • Tertiary log: Optional and will be shown in reports, for example the Aircraft Report.

Each log can be configured based on what times you want to record.

Input Options

For each log, instructors can enter times using:

  • Decimals (1 or 2 digits)

  • Hours and minutes (total accumulated time)

  • Timestamps (exact clock times)

Duration

For duration, you can use decimals or hours and minutes. Duration cannot be timestamped, since it represents accumulated time.

Action Buttons

If enabled, Action Buttons will be activated on the Flight Registration pages. Pilots can use these action buttons during registration (e.g., Block, Airborne). The system automatically records the time from the device used (tablet, phone, etc.), so pilots don’t have to enter it manually.

*Note: All times entered using Action Buttons can always be manually overwritten by the pilot.

 

Primary Log Deviation

You can define a maximum allowed deviation between the primary and secondary logs. If exceeded, a warning appears for the pilot.. In other words, Secondary log entries must fall between the initial and final entry times of the primary log.

Primary Log offset (Taxi)

Defines standard taxi out and taxi in times (e.g., 10 minutes out, 5 minutes in). These are auto-calculated but can be changed manually if needed.

Tertiary Log Pre-Select

For logs like Tach, the system pre-fills the next flight with the last registered value.

*Note: We recommend that pilots must still verify the actual reading in the aircraft to avoid human error.

 

Special Logs

  • Instrument time: Records time flown under a hood (VFR/IFR). Adds a separate tab in registration.

  • Asymmetric time: Logs time flown on simulated engine failures or asymmetric operations.

  • Simulator / Multi-pilot training: Allows logging of Pilot Flying and Pilot Monitoring times, with the option to set a default view.
