Hi,
I like the IFD540+440 and made some suggestions in this forum.... This one addresses a "flight log" where you can see the e.g. last 10 flights in descending order (last flight first) on a touch:
It could be inserted into the AUX/SYS page ("Flight Log") or in the AUX/UTIL Page with flip/flop to "Timers" (like the flip/flop "AUX/Setup/SetupMap/SetupFMS-Mechanism" or simple as 10 new Timer-Types in the AUX/UTIL/Timer Menu, where you can add Timers of such a FlightLog Type. However, this could be very comfortable for documentation of all the last flights! Some details: Offblock: Time when unit is switched on TKO: TakeoffTime, e.g. when GS>30kts LDG: LandingTime, e.g. when GS<30kts Onblock: Time, when unit is switched off LDGs: +1 when GS<80kts and nearest Airport less than 1nm away (configurable?) DEP&DEST: Nearest airport at time of TKO&LDG A download choice would also be werde helpful! Any comments? Any chance for next release? Regards Guenter |

Note: A standard already exists in turbine aircraft, if we wish to employ it. These are known as OOOI times: Out Off On In
Details vary, but generally the Off/On logic is dictated by a weight-on-wheels landing gear sensor. For our purposes, a GPS groundspeed threshold is a reasonable substitute. The Out/In logic has more variation across operators, but the state of the parking brake (set/released) is usually a factor. For our purposes, a groundspeed of more than 1 knot might be usable. The power on time might be a good trigger. I don't think using the power-off time as a trigger would be wise. Makes it hard to look at the data for the last flight. System logic gets much more complicated in cases of a gate return, or a repositioning of the aircraft on the airport (like to a fuel pump or to maintenance). David Bunin
