    The reason it ignored your recent flights is because I don't count a visit when you depart from an airport. See https://myflightbookblog.blogspot.com/2017/11/how-are-visited-airports-computed.html for my rationale here. It's all a bit arbitrary, of course. :)

    The video of the importing webinar is now available. Next Tuesday (May 26) I'll do a webinar on Admin tools, if you're curious about what goes on behind the scenes.

    Please join me on Thursday at 10AM PDT, I'll spend about 40 minutes talking about various tips/tricks in MyFlightbook with time for Q&A afterwards. If this works well, then next week I'll do another one where I'll talk about mobile apps or maybe club functionality or ...? I'll record this as...

    Precisely - clicking the route is all about showing a 2-D path on a 2-D map; the details needs to preserve altitude/speed/etc., so it does the extra data load/computation.

    Nope, never mind - I figured it out. It's an artifact of compression; it's not datum or feet or apple vs. google. Russ - you can see this all on the website if you click on the route of flight in your logbook. https://myflightbook.com/logbook/Public/ViewPublicFlight.aspx/9908737 vs...

    Two different views of the same track. The red line is the same data in both cases (series of latitude/longitude). The top image is on the MyFlightbook website, which uses Google maps to display the data. The bottom is the identical data, but displayed on the iPad, which uses Apple maps. Not...

    But if it's a datum thing, wouldn't it affect both airports, not just the arrival airport? I looked at Russ's flight on my iPhone and indeed, the departure seems spot on and the arrival is off. W.r.t. the foot - that's interesting, but does that affect latitude/longitude? I don't do anything...

    Wow, that is weird. Try holding your iPad about 1000 ft northeast of your hand? The actual latitude/longitude coordinates are indeed the same; I just hand the coordinates to Apple and let them draw it. I wonder if it's a projection thing.

    Going to digital log books.

    I think I know which one you're referring to as well. It's open source, and backed up by a bank account and backup admins that will allow it to run for many years if the developer were to get hit by a bus.

    Going to digital log books.

    In MyFlightbook, there are a few ways: If you use the mobile app, the instructor can use a finger-scribble to sign a flight or to issue an endorsement Or, you can set up a student/instructor relationship and the instructor can issue a "digital" signature (that is, no fingernail-scribble...

    Note that simulators or different manufacturers can also make that a bit weird. e.g., when two companies have made the same model. But it's an easy change; I just checked it in. Look for it live soon...

    Yes, it's by model number: A36 is before F33 is before N35 is before S35 is before V35. I can look at sorting by full display.

    Ahh, if it's all on its own line, then it's what I was proposing (not what I saw in the screenshot, which looked like totals grouped by model). BTW, can often be worth logging time even without PIC (in my example above, you might have been training in a new category/class and been able to log...

    Gets really complicated really fast, indeed! Although even the formula there could be simplified (e.g., for Night-PIC-Cross-country, I'd use MIN(Night, PIC, Cross-country) and you need to be careful to do it on the individual flights, not the totals. E.g., suppose you have three flights in...
