    Precisely. It will also break down PIC and SIC time under each. And you can search on flights in aircraft with these attributes. And ratings progress will account for it. E.g., commercial airplane rating will look for TAA or Complex. TAA is interesting because you can upgrade an aircraft...

    I owe a correction here: all of what I said about not deleting airports and not modifying flights is true but with an exception that I had forgotten about, which actually applies to the specific example discussed earlier. A little over a year ago, I added an admin tool to look for user-created...

    That's precisely the goal. The overall trend is towards being more comprehensive (which reduces data entry) and more accurate over time.

    Don't really need to "sort" per se - complex subtotals should show automatically in your totals. But you can also search for flights in complex aircraft and the resulting totals will reflect only flights in complex aircraft. Ditto TAA, high-performance, tailwheel, etc...

    Preferred logbook?

    Complex/HP (and tailwheel, turbine, multi-engine, etc.) are not attributes of a flight, so there's no need to log them. They're attributes of the model of aircraft. So if you log an hour in N12345 and N12345 is a Beech Bonanza, then it's automatically an hour of complex/HP time. If N12345 is...

    BTW, I think this is worthy of a response that's more in-depth than is appropriate for in-line here, because I think there's actually a surprising amount to unpack. I'm going to do a blog post on it and post a link to that here.

    Huh, there are a few things that confuse me about what you say above because they don't comport to how things have ever worked in MyFlightbook: I don't modify flight entries. If you had X17 in you route-of-flight, then I don't change it to KPCM - your flight still says X17. Whatever I do in...

    This can indeed happen with aircraft but it doesn't really impact the integrity of the information. The vast majority of the time, the change is "insignificant" (e.g., changing a C-172 N to a C-172 P, for example) and in the direction of greater accuracy. I review 100% of edits that can impact...

    They can sign with a fingernail scribble, no account needed. While there are obviously advantages to having an account, making it a requirement is not a reasonable barrier to impose. So you just tap the "sign" button (you do need to use the mobile app), choose "New Instructor", and hand your...

    Why not just clean up a bunch of the old ones?

    No, I don't think so, at least not with Apple's built-in spinner control.

    The grouping - put all the active ones on top, then inactive - isn't a bad idea. And it's what I already do on the iOS app for properties and the aircraft page and for the aircraft page on the website. On the website and the android app, where it's a drop-down, the trimmed (only active) list...

    Don't look in foreflight. This is in MyFlightbook. And there are three ways you can log "IFR Time" depending on what you mean: you can log "Simulated Instrument" for time when you are under the hood in a real aircraft (or using a sim in simulated imc environment), you can log IMC if you're in...

    Yep, the discussion above mirrors my understanding of things. In the US, as Salty correctly cites 61.51, if you are rated and you are manipulator of the controls, you're good to log PIC, even while simultaneously receiving Dual. E.g., I logged PIC and Dual for all of my instrument training...

    Note that the reason I can't just literally pause and resume is that auto-total can come from a variety of sources, not all of which will be known. E.g., if it's block out to block in, then at the end I can do my total = block in minus block out. So I can't just "pause" my elapsed block time...

    I haven't looked at the code yet, but it's a possibility.

    I think it's the pause time - you need to subtract that from the night computation. Note the elapsed time in the engine/flight times above - both more than the 4.7 of truncated total time from pausing. (Looks like you paused for about 0.7 hours). When you pause, I start accruing a "paused...

    In case you saw my previous reply about "contact me", I realized what the issue was; read my edited reply above.
