Include total flight time in User Log

[lgabriel]

It would be really helpful to have total flight time appear in the exported user data log (along side tach and hobbs)...especially for those of us who forget to copy things down occasionally (cough cough).

Thanks!

In the mean time you could use a User Log parser found here:

Hi Murray!

I'm already addicted to any software you produce...my use case for the total flight time number is for maintenance tracking (things like flight control hinge lube intervals). In the meantime, keeping a running tally from your parser gets me close. Thanks for all your work, by the way!

Thanks Louis. Happy to hear. May spend some more time on the EMS Editor this winter.

It looks like V15 software has added the maintenance logger, so that should solve your problem nicely.

 

[lgabriel]

If only! Flight time isn't an option on the maintenance page :-(.

If you're curious Hobbs, tach, and date are.

Oh, well that's simple enough - run it on Tach time then, it's not going to be far enough different from actual flight time to matter for the purposes of maintenance items.

For some cases, maybe...not really for me. I can obviously keep track of flight time external to SkyView, but it's the extra steps I was hoping to avoid. It would be nice to have total flight time appear in the data logs, and WAY cool to have it be part of maintenance tracking.
