Creating flight log book setup records

The flight log book setup record provides the flexibility to create a flight log book record that is tailored to an aircraft and the regulations that are required in the country of registration of the aircraft. You create a flight log book setup record to configure how the flight log book record displays and collects information for a specific aircraft.

Procedure

  1. In the Flight Log Book Setup application, click the New Record icon, and specify the type of the flight log book setup record.
  2. In the Flight Log Book Setup tab, specify the model and configuration. The combination of model and configuration must be unique for each active flight log book setup record. If the flight log book setup record applies to all configurations of the selected model, do not specify the configuration.
  3. Optional: In the Details section, specify whether munitions are used.
  4. Optional: Specify whether status symbols are displayed in the flight log book record. Default symbols identify the statuses of the flight log book setup records and the flight log book records. If your implementation requires different symbols, you must provide the icons in a .gif file for each of the statuses.
  5. Optional: Specify whether failure reporting is mandatory. Mandatory failure reporting requires that the pilot or mechanic provide details of the failure in discrepancy records.
  6. Optional: Specify whether post-flight inspections are required. If post-flight inspections are required, add a job plan to the record.
  7. Specify engines, meters, fuel tanks, and replenishments that represent the build items in the associated model and configuration.
  8. Optional: Specify the munitions details.
  9. Change the status of the record to ACTIVE.

What to do next

In the Flight Log Book application, create flight log book records for the aircraft in your fleet. The flight log book record is automatically based on the flight log book setup record that exists for the aircraft model and configuration.
