The DEPARTURE page displays departure information for the flight entered
during flight preparation. The OUT/OFF DATE/TIME fields are configured by
the administrator (local, GMT, ZULU). Typically, the OUT fields represent
airplane pushback (brakes off) from the gate and the OFF fields represent takeoff.
The fields are automatically populated when the event occurs, but manual entry of
the date can be accomplished using the arrows on either side of the box. If the
TIME fields are blank or incorrect, the appropriate values can be manually
entered. These fields must be complete in order to close the flight.
The ARRIVAL page displays arrival information for the flight entered during
flight preparation. The ON/IN DATE/TIME fields are configured by the
administrator (local, GMT, ZULU). Typically, the ON fields represent landing and
the IN fields represent arrival at the gate (wheel chocks in place). The fields are
automatically populated when the event occurs, but manual entry of the date can
be accomplished using the arrows on either side of the box. If the TIME fields are
blank or incorrect, the appropriate values can be manually entered. These fields
must be complete in order to close the flight.
The BLOCK TIME, TOTAL TIME BEFORE, FLIGHT TIME, and TOTAL
TIME AFTER fields are calculated automatically. The BLOCK TIME is OUT
minus IN time. TOTAL TIME BEFORE is the number of flight hours before this
flight started. The FLIGHT TIME is OFF minus ON time. TOTAL TIME AFTER
is the TOTAL TIME BEFORE plus the FLIGHT TIME.
Other data on this page includes; number of Touch & Go and Full Stop landings,
successful autoland preformed, and the paper log serial number if one exists.
The COMMENTS page allows pilot comments to be recorded in the flight log.
The SUMMARY page provides a summary of the flight log that can be printed
using the SHOW MENU > PRINT option. This page also provides access to the
signature page (SIGN) to close the flight log.
Closing the Flight Log
The close function verifies the flight times and dates, writes any comments in the
log record, and checks for any draft fault records that must be resolved.
To close the flight select FLIGHT LOG on the Logbook Home page, then the
SUMMARY page. On the Flight Log Summary page select the SIGN soft key and
complete the required NAME, PERSONNEL ID, and PASSWORD fields. Select
CONFIRM to close the flight.
The signed flight log closes the flight so that a new flight log can be created.
