    Electronic pilot log books

    Umm, you can add all of that after the fact. And if you add a GPS log (CSV, GPX, or KML) that is time-stamped (ideally, but not necessarily, including speed) then MyFlightbook can read it to initialize a flight and detect things like night landings and airports.

    Electronic pilot log books

    Heaven forbid I should do that! And the point is quite correctly made above: use the backup function; it's YOUR data, it should be portable, and I very explicitly do what I can to facilitate both import and export of it. Heck, the spreadsheet format for the export is something you can use...

    Promiscuous Airplanes

    Apologies - was on vacation for two weeks. Fun question! If I restrict to actual flying machines, and ignore "anonymous" aircraft**, then here are the top 20 aircraft in the system as of right now. I've never done this specific query before, and what's fascinating is that this ain't GA...

    100th airport

    I only have 4 levels (bronze, silver, gold, platinum), so they aren't linearly spaced. Bronze to silver is a smaller gap than silver to gold is a smaller gap than gold to platinum.

    The MyFlightBook thread

    I'm afraid you don't. iOS and Android layout engines aren't nearly as flexible as HTML is on the web, it would be a ton of work.

    The MyFlightBook thread

    Yep. On the website, go to Airports->Add/Edit airports. I suggest using a 5- or 6- character/digit code to avoid future conflicts with actual ICAO/IATA/FAA codes. It will be live on the website immediately, and the mobile apps will get it when I update their databases, which is a few times a...

    The MyFlightBook thread

    Oh, the code to do this is trivial (and actually simpler than your proposal: you use a queue and add things at one end and remove them at the other if they're more than a year earlier); I actually have this code elsewhere in the admin tools. I just don't have any code currently in production...

    The MyFlightBook thread

    Can’t think of an easy way to do this off the top of my head. Just for curiosity? Or is there a purpose to knowing?

    The MyFlightBook thread

    No, not really. Properties are identified as being integers (1, 2, 3...), decimals, monetary values (like decimals), true/false, dates, or bits of text. There are a set of additional flags that confer some semantics on them. For decimals, there's a "This is not a time" flag. The main...

    The MyFlightBook thread

    Ha fun idea. Only trick is knowing which fields should cross-fill from that. Lots of integer properties, but for most I don't have semantics for what they mean, they're just numbers, so I'd need to tag them. E.g., do you cross-fill from approaches? Landings? Full-stop landings? Something else?

    Logging cross country time

    Glad you like the Flight Coloring feature! A couple of ways to go here, but I'd definitely start with scanning your paper endorsements to either JPG or into a full PDF file. You can then upload the resulting scans to Training->Endorsements. If you do JPG, then you can print when you print...

    Logging cross country time

    And that's a great example of why the context matters. :)

    Logging cross country time

    Cross-country - such a simple concept, so maddening in practice. Particularly frustrating is the fact that it is impossible to look at a given flight and ask "how much cross-country time is represented by this flight?". Literally impossible. You MUST have the context of "For purposes of X...

    Hee hee! I've been doing that tongue-in-cheek "eternal gratitude...for a year" for something like 2 years now, and you're just the 2nd person who has commented about the (quite deliberate) contradiction.

    The MyFlightBook thread

    Other answers above are correct. Looks like the DA40NG in the system is flagged as being GLASS but not as being TAA. There's a difference: glass is but one requirement for being TAA; see 61.129, but you also need a continuously visible PFD, continuously visible MFD, and at least a 2-axis...

    Logbook Question

    Cross-country time is such a mess. See my blog post on this at https://myflightbookblog.blogspot.com/2018/08/logging-cross-country-time.html. I try to make this easy on MyFlightbook. Personally, I just log > 50nm flights in the XC column because it pretty much always counts, but there are...

    We had a stinson in the club for a while, that helped for most of the soft fields

    7 by my count. Here's my flight: https://myflightbook.com/logbook/Public/ViewPublicFlight.aspx/10472898

    100th airport

    Sheesh - I actually misremembered; I have a *fourth* state: I bagged Rhode Island last summer. As for what I'm flying: WA, OR, and RI were (mostly) in my flying clubs' mooney M20J, which sadly had a gear failure in June (no injuries!) and was written off by the insurance company. The rest of...

    100th airport

    Absolutely to both! In fact, I had to get my seaplane rating as part of the process in order to knock out the dozen or so charted seaports in the state. Copalis is cool. Seatac I did one morning at like 5:30am. (Ended up going back there last year during the pandemic mid-afternoon with my...
