    Correct. As described in the link above, when you save a flight, I reset the "New Flight" form and default it to whatever "today" is where you are. It *doesn't* stay with the date of the last flight you entered.

    Yes. See https://myflightbookblog.blogspot.com/2022/04/default-date-of-flight-on-ios-or-android.html for the explanation why.

    Oh, and to address the landings thing here. Please check out https://myflightbookblog.blogspot.com/2017/11/logging-landingstakeoffs-and-approaches.html. The gist of it is that you are logging subsets. So "Landings" is "how many times did I stop flying that wasn't a crash." "Full-stop...

    As well you should be, but indeed, MyFlightbook is not a profit-seeking enterprise. Thankfully, I have other sources of income that are more than adequate, so this is a passion project. I keep my expenses very low, and thankfully donations cover those expenses (they don't begin to cover my...

    And you WON'T receive spam. I only send emails that are (a) transactional (password reset, aircraft edit, etc.) or (b) explicitly opted into. And the latter are from MyFlightbook, no 3rd party service. I do NOT sell email lists or otherwise try to monetize you.

    I always figure that if you go up to any altitude at all, the pressure differential guarantees that happens on every flight to everyone on board. :)

    Minor quibble: Track if it was a night landing. By definition, a landing is either day or night, so if it's night it must not be day and if it's not night it must be day. I.e., Day Landings = (Total Landings minus Night Landings), so can be computed, so no need to explicitly log day landings.

    Normally I wouldn't cross-post something personal here, but I think you'll see why. One of my hobbies is that I like to play music, and I've written a new album and hired professional musicians (well, and then me on guitar) to play/record it. Why is this relevant here? The album is titled "Up...

    You're not doing anything wrong. I'd bet that if you look in the url you'll see fq=... as one of the parameters. "fq" is "flightquery", and the gibberish that follows it is a compressed/encrypted specification for the query. This allows you to return to whatever context you came from. So...

    Yeah, I suppose I should sort those the same, shouldn't I? Probably most recent on top.

    You don't. You know that someone who has an account with that email and that name and claimed that certificate signed it. But if Joe Randomuser indeed has an account joerandomuser42@hotmail.com on MyFlightbook, then you can draw that connection.

    A lot of people take pictures of signed paper logbook entries/endorsements, and attach it to the flight. That's totally fine, but getting precise here, that too is recording the *fact* of the signature, but is not itself the signature: your paper logbook is the actual signed logbook in that...

    Finally got around to doing this. Its coded up, hopefully should be live in the next few days.

    Is there a way to import FlightAware track logs to ForeFlight ?

    Can't help with ForeFlight, but here's what you can do with MyFlightbook: get the KML or GPX file off of FlightAware (or whatever other source you have). If you're using the website, you can attach it to a flight and optionally press "AutoFill" to detect things like landings, airports, night...

    Correct. The CSV export captures the *fact* and the *data* of the digital signature ("John Smith, certificate #12345, signed this on Oct 7 2021...") But it cannot *be* a digital signature because a CSV file is just a text file that can be edited, so you can't use any encryption or other...
