Logbook Version 2 Overview (V2)

Logbook Version 2 Overview (V2)

The original logbook model has been referred to as Version 1 (“V1”) and Version 2 (“V2”) is the new model. 

Why is the new model needed? 
Identified in 2020, the V1 model does not capture Pilot Flying so it makes assumptions on how it allocates PIC/SIC time. Additionally, there was no way to capture time that may have been spent Away from the Flight Deck. 

What to expect with V2?
  1. Adds the ability to designate Pilot Flying (PF) and Pilot Not Flying (PNF) hours for each crew member in the flight logs
  2. Adds distinction between ‘Flight Deck’ and ‘Away from Flight Deck’ time for augmented crews
  3. Increases visibility and functionalities for users for flight and crew logs 

Crew Personnel Profile Changes

The Crew Member's Profile has new displays and features:

Crew Info Tab

  1. Aircraft Type Assignment determine if a pilot may be crewed on an aircraft
  2. Aircraft Type Assignment screen has columns that display PIC Time and SIC Time in that type
