thanks for the kind words - but I'm a bit distressed to hear about the crash! Can you send me a crash report? (Should take this offline to myflightbook@gmail.com).

Yes, MyFlightbook keeps these records indefinitely, thus meeting the 3 year requirement. You're free to manually delete sooner than forever, if you like. Any endorsement you give is automatically visible to you in your account, and you can make records of endorsements given out-of-band. (I...

I'm happy to help create that spreadsheet for you. :)

Try Training->8710 Form->Rollup by model to do it at least at the model level. If you want it at the individual tail number level, then I'd recomend downloading to excel and creating a pivot table. Very quick to do that.

Note that MyFlightbook already has built-in support for non-local without having to use "LOCAL". If the route of flight is either XXX or XXX-XXX (hyphen optional), then it's a local flight. If you want to see your "generic" cross-country, just search for "non-local" flights.

Can possibly add a toggle. Personally if I do an approach to an airport I put it into the route even if I don’t land but I can see why others may choose otherwise. Note that this whole screen ultimately only does two things: a) assists in creating a text description (in the Approach...

I do, but hey, I'm obviously not a disinterested observer. Logging in comments is fine if it's your personal aircraft, but for shared aircraft scenarios like a club, the advantage (at least in MyFlightbook) of logging it in the aircraft itself is that all of the other pilots who fly that...

The latest version of the app should be more aggressive about background-refreshing your aircraft list. I don't auto-update or auto-refresh because - by definition as an aviation app - I can't assume good or continuous connectivity.

Sorry for the delayed response. When you change the active flag on an aircraft using the iOS/android app, you need to press "Update" to push the change up to the server. Otherwise, it's just local to the device (and will get overwritten the next time you sync your aircraft). Or, if you...

Not currently; I've had a work item (https://github.com/ericberman/MyFlightbookiOS/issues/133) to do this since February; haven't gotten to it yet.

Per Mike's request, here is the talk I gave at OSH last year and this. It doesn't read well, so it's a video.

absolutely! two ways to do it: a) Use the app to record your flight. Turn on the option to record your flight (and optionally autodetect takeoffs/landings), and then between engine start and engine end it will listen to the GPS and record telemetry; this will be saved with the flight. b) if...

If you're going to Oshkosh this year, I'd love to meet you! * MONDAY 4pm, Workshop classroom A: The Power of Electronic Logbooks. I'll be talking at a high level about what I've learned doing MyFlightbook for the past 13 years or so. * TUESDAY, Noon - I'm doing a meet-and-greet at the CloudAhoy...

I just added this...sorta. Does exactly what you describe except for compressing into a single-year view. I.e., you can view a calandar layout of all of your flights and see how many flights you did on that day. Check out the Achievements page on the website (and monthly email on Aug 1).

Totally agree: consumption is something you can add, so you can compare it over varying time periods. But an oil *level* ("7 qts") doesn't coalesce into a single time: if a reports spans a month and there were 5 reports during the month of 6.5qts, 7qts, 5qts, 7.5qts, and 7.2qts, what do you...

My point was that the report spans a time period. Things like oil consumed make sense to total or average over that period. But oil measured is a snapshot. What does that mean over a given time period? What value do you report?

BTW, realized that the lack of hours option for a deadline on the aircraft page was a bug. I have a fix, will take it live shortly.

What would go into report for oil level - most recent? That one is a little tough because it’s associated with a flight, not the aircraft. And then it begs the question of fuel consumed, fuel at start, etc.

Hi, Chris. I think I understand you now. Deadlines can indeed work off of hours as you suggest - they just need to have an associated aircraft. When you create a deadline, pick the aircraft with which it is associated. there's then a checkbox that says "Deadline is determined using aircraft...

I'll have to look at the code, but sometimes there can be a delay due to the use of caching for performance - e.g., something is still using a cached version of the aircraft that is now slightly out of date; when the cache expires, it picks up the changes. Generally, this only happens if you're...
