Flight Log
The live feed of in-progress flights detected automatically by the OGN receiver, waiting for review and approval.
What it is
The Flight Log shows flights live, as they happen — provided the aircraft are equipped with position tracking. Take-offs and landings are detected automatically, and each one is written into the Flight Log as an in-progress flight. Nothing is billed yet.
A member is responsible for reviewing every detected flight, filling in the missing details (crew, task, start type), verifying that it’s correct, and approving it. Approving a flight moves it out of the live feed and into the permanent flight registry, where billing rules take over.
The system tries to pair aerotows automatically.
How to use it
- Review in-progress flights — flights appear automatically as the receiver detects take-offs and landings.
- Filter the records — narrow the list by status, source, aircraft, pilot, or date.
- Fill in and correct details — for a single flight or in bulk, set the pilot, second pilot, instructor, task, start type, or description. For manual flights, a button sets the take-off and landing time to “now”.
- Pair a tracking ID with an aircraft — link an unknown tracking ID to an aircraft by entering the identifier into the tracking-ID field in the aircraft’s edit screen, so future flights are attributed correctly.
- Approve or reject a flight — a complete and correct flight is approved and thereby moved into the billable flight registry; unsuitable records can be rejected or deleted. These actions can also be done in bulk.
