Second version of the Flight Time Limitation Module
As announced when the initial version of FTLM was released, further improvements were to follow soon after. Our first update is now here. Customers testing via the free trial of FLTM (which ends ultimo August) now get a chance to try out the second version of the module.
Note that after the trial period has ended, we will reach out individually to the schools that have tested FTLM to collect your input.
Here are the most important updates on FTLM:
New process of setting up flight time limitations
Flight time limitations are now set up the same way as certificates via the “Master flight time limitation list” page (formerly named Flight time limitation). This means that you now can create a list of flight time limitations, which can be active or inactive – exactly the same way as certificates are setup today.
Each flight time limitation can be named individually, and you can choose whether to include flights from rentals and simulators and of course set up your own warnings with customizable color schemes.
Add flight time limitations to specific users, programs and renters
Now that flight time limitations are handled the same way as certificates, they can be added to specific users as a requirement (notice that we have added a tab for Flight time limitation requirements).
Likewise, flight time limitation requirements can be added to your programs by editing the program and then adding the flight time limitation requirements.
Last but not least, flight time limitations can be added as a renter requirement in exactly the same way.
Our next planned update will allow users including renters to add external flights to their FlightLogger logbook to keep track of flight time limitation, making the Flight Time Limitation Module even more valuable for your school.

Improved Guest User functionality
Administrators can now give guest users access to not only students but instructors, staff, crew and renters as well. Also, we have added some extra settings (2) to manage what kind of data each guest user is able to access.
Landing summary added to the user overview
Based on customer request we have added a landing summary on the user overview page, making it easy to see the total number of landings completed on the program. Landings include “Full stop” and “Touch & Go” (but not “Approach” or “Go-around”).
Edit how usernames are shown on booking pages
As a school, you can now set how usernames are shown in various areas on the booking pages. The new setting can be found under Administration -> Account settings -> Booking. The default setting is as shown below.
Easier registration of flying lessons with no actual flying
Some of our customers have flight lessons that don’t involve actual flying (like walk-arounds, taxi training etc). For easy registration of a zero flight time and zero landings lessons, default values are now set when proceeding the booking.
The following values are set as default:
Aircraft: As selected in the booking
DUAL – VFR – DAY – LOCAL
TACHO START: Current tacho
TACHO FINISH: Empty (like today)
OFF BLOCK: Off block time from booking
AIRBORNE: Off block time from booking
LANDING: Off block time from booking
ON BLOCK: Off block time from booking
ARRIVAL: 0 full stop
The default settings can, of course, be overwritten.
Option to unsubscribe from FlightLogger emails
To comply with regulations an option to unsubscribe from email updates from FlightLogger has been added to user settings. To disables from FlightLogger, users can simply click their Edit Info link in the top right menu and remove the tick in the setting Receive email update announcements.
We do not recommend unsubscribing from FlightLogger emails, as this means you will not be notified about new features or improvements that you may rg$h12 klæhave specifically requested. Also, you will not receive announcements about downtime due to maintenance or operational issues.
Note that you will still receive messages from FlightLogger in your message center.
Minor improvements and bug fixes
As always, this release also holds a list of minor improvements and a couple of bug fixes, most of them based on highly appreciated input from our customers.
Please keep sending us your comments and suggestions at support@flightlogger.net.
In the meantime, if this is your first visit to our new Help Center, we encourage you to take a look around and get familiar with all the videos and written guides that we have made available. We hope you like it along with the improvements released this time.
