LOG

The log view allows users to enter information in all of the following areas:

  • Airframe time (Out/Off/On/In)

  • Hobbs time (if applicable)

  • Component times (engines)

  • Approach type

  • Takeoff and Landings

  • Day, Night, and Instrument times

  • APU time (if applicable)

  • Fuel values

  • Delays and Diversions

NOTE: There are 3 additional fields that can be enabled per each operation. These 3 fields allow an operation to capture data and report on trends around aircraft ready and passenger show times. These fields do not display if the leg is empty.

If passengers are on board and the module is enabled the following fields are required:

  • Aircraft Ready (UTC) - must be before Out and Off

  • Passenger Show (UTC) - must be before Out and Off

  • Passenger Disembark (UTC) - must be after On and In

If the operation subscribes to Flight Following and OOOI times are enabled, the OOOI times (Out, Off, On, and In) will auto-fill based on the information from FlightAware. Personnel will need to access the log, verify the data and tap the check mark to save.

The log allows for partial data submission. For example, input the Out and Off times, Passenger Show time, and Fuel Out upon departure. After arrival, record On, In, and Passenger Disembark times. As the data is entered, the T/O and Landing selections become available when applicable.
