To be clear, in previous versions of LogTen Pro there was a separate “ID” field on the People tab. This has been removed to simplify things, now you can just enter the ID or the Name in the same field! However, in the crew list, and the People tab in Mange Resources you will still be able to see both the name and ID at the same time.

Also note the new handy button to swap the PIC and SIC. This is especially useful if you often fly with the same person but switch rolls. You can set defaults so you’re always added as the PIC or SIC, then just use the button to switch as needed.

In most cases we, as pilots, will need to enter the same value for several types of flight time, and these will be the same for a certain phase of our flying. For example, a student will most likely be entering the same values for Total Time and Dual Received on every flight, at least until they start flying solo. On the other hand, most airline pilots will be entering XC on every flight, so why should they have to type it in every time they enter a flight? They don’t if they’re using LogTen Pro of course.

Select the “Time” tab in the Flight Detail view and at the top right press the “Auto” button. Checkboxes will appear next to all your time values. Tick the ones you would like to be automatically updated when the total time changes (you can always override the value if you want it to be different from the total time).

Now whenever the Total Time value is changed, either by typing in a new value, or by changing the Actual Departure or Actual Arrival times the ticked times will be updated as well. When you make that first solo, or get that sweet airline job you’ve worked so hard for, just go back to the Time tab and change it as needed.
