Default Flying Club software?

What's flight logging?

My club uses Schedue Master for booking. I was not aware that they have
flight logging capability.

Can this be used for logging Tach Time? How do you turn it on? Is it part
of the Squawk module? I couldn't find anything at all about it.

Or are you just using one of the numeric user fields to record tach time?

Thanks.

My partnership http://flyingclub.org/ also uses schedule master, but we
use the flight logging capability too. This information is imported into
Quickbooks, and this is apparently a very simple process (I've not done
that myself).

Each airplane has a maintenance coordinator (volunteer) who watches the
tach numbers for that plane to see if it is getting to be time for oil
changes and schedules annuals and takes care of squawks and the like.


Since we use the flight logging in SM, and the MX scheduling capability,
SM itself notifies the MX staff when periodic MX is required. MX can be
scheduled by calendar or tach hour. The amount of warning provided can
be customized on a per-MX-task basis.

I cannot compare it to other packages, not being familiar with them. But
SM does a very nice job of helping our partnership run. We've also asked
for the odd customization occasionally, and they've been very
accommodating.
