Cloning a training program

If you want to create a new training program that’s similar to one you already have, the quickest way is to clone your existing program using FlightLogger’s cloning function.

This video explains the process of cloning an existing training program.

In case you don't have a similar program to clone, you will instead need to create a new training program from scratch.

How to Clone a Training Program

Cloning a program is the quickest way to create a new training program if it’s very similar to one you already have. Instead of starting from scratch, you can copy an existing setup and simply adjust the details.

When to Use Cloning

Choose this method if you need a program that is the same/almost the same as an existing one, for example,duplicating Recurrent Training.

Steps to Clone a Program

• Ensure you have the rights to See and Edit programs

See this tutorial on Permissions

• Go to Administration → Programs to see all your existing programs.

• Find the program you want to copy.

• Click the Blue Clone icon to the right.

• Click "OK" on the prompt.

• FlightLogger will now create a one-to-one copy of the selected program. This may take a few minutes, depending on the program size. The new program will appear with “Clone” in the name. To rename it, simply click the Edit icon and change the name.

• All lessons, exercises, requirements, and settings will be included. You can edit these as needed.

• The new program is not active until students are attached, so you’re free to make any changes, whether major or minor, before it goes live.

*Note:  Major changes (e.g., delete/add lessons or phases)

*Note:  Minor changes (e.g., rename, update times, add/delete briefings)

*Note: The clone is always based on the active revision of the original program. Make sure you’ve set the correct revision before starting the clone.

What’s Included in a Cloned Program

When you clone a program, FlightLogger makes a full copy that includes:

• All lessons and exercises

• Phases (with their order preserved)

• Briefing texts and syllabus times

• Certificate requirements

• Flight time limitation settings (if enabled on your account)

• Master exercise list (as linked to the copied lessons)
