Main Log
Database -> View Main Log
The above sample log page demonstrates several display features:
Colour Coding
Aircraft and airports are highlighted in green or red, depending on whether they have been successfully validated against entries held in the database. Red entries have not been found, and require the details for that particular aircraft/airport to be entered (see
Add Aircraft or
Add Airport for more information). Green entries have been found, but refer to an aircraft/airport entry made by a user, as yet unverified.
A grey highlight over a whole line means that the flight has been marked as provisional. This might typically apply to a flight that has been added to the database in advance (maybe from a planned roster) but not actually flown, so the details are not yet confirmed.
When the mouse pointer is moved over a flight, that line is highlighted in blue. Any comment associated with the highlighted flight will be displayed at the bottom of the page ('Max crosswind landing' in this example), along with day/night hours and distance. Click on any flight while highlighted to
Edit that flight's details. The blue highlight will remain while the flight is being edited, so that it is clear which flight is subject to change.
Flight Attributes
At the right-hand side of the log page, a column of single-letter attributes denotes particular features of a flight:
- C - The flight has an associated comment. Hover over the flight to see the comment displayed at the bottom of the page ('positioning aircraft' in this example).
- A - The flight ended with an automatic landing (autoland).
- I - The flight was carried out under IFR (instrument flight).
- X - The flight is to be excluded from monthly and annual hours totals for the purposes of flight time limitations (e.g. private flying in light aircraft).
- % - The flight has a '% Hours Claimed' value of less than 100%, and will not be included in full in statistical totals.
Page Navigation
A series of arrow hyperlinks and page number text boxes allow navigation through the log:
| << | First page |
| <- | Previous page |
| -> | Next page |
| >> | Last page |
These links duplicate the functionality available through the
Page Menu.
Typing a number in the first text box and pressing Enter, will jump directly to that page, assuming it exists. This is the same as using the 'Page -> Go To Page...' option.
Hours Totals
At the bottom of each log page are displayed current totals, up to today based on UTC date (not the last flight in the log):
- 28-Day total is the total flying hours in the 28 days up to and including today. Flights marked as 'exclude' or 'provisional' are not included.
- 12-month total is the total flying hours for the 12 calendar months to the end of the current month (e.g. on 17th September 2004, the total displayed would be 1st October 2003 to 30th September 2004). Flights marked as 'exclude' or 'provisional' are not included.
- Grand total flying hours is the total hours in the log book. This includes hours marked as 'exclude' for flight time limitations purposes, but does not include 'provisional' hours, or hours logged as 'Other' crew capacity (e.g. jump seat time).
If you have specified it in
recency monitoring options, a summary of your recency status will be shown ('recency expired' in this example), together with a link to view a detailed breakdown of your recency.
