Enable AutoFill
When optioned ON, entering a duration value will automatically propagate the duration value to fields specified in Logbook Pro PC's Options/AutoFill area based on the aircraft type selected. For example, you may have Options/AutoFill for C-172 set to auto-enter the duration value into PIC and enter a day landing. AutoFill can also be optioned on the Logbook Pro PC side in the My Sync / Account Settings area to trigger when syncing from the My Sync portal. AutoFill will not fill a field that already has a value. Be sure to verify your flight log entry reviewing all fields prior to tapping SAVE to ensure AutoFill does not enter a value such as a landing you may not be expecting.
Error Checking
By default error checking is ON. Error checking runs when you tap SAVE to save a flight entry. It will check that any fields with flight time do not exceed Duration and make sure all required fields are filled in. If you have a need to disable error checking you can do so by setting this option to OFF and the flight record will save as entered without performing any validation of your data.
Restrict to Active Types
In Logbook Pro Desktop 1.16.9 and later there is an "Active" checkbox at the far right of each A/C Type in Options/Aircraft. Check only those types that you actively fly, inactive types will be hidden from the pick list when adding new flight log entries.
Defaults
Select the default Aircraft Type for new flight log entries, and if desired an Ident (tail number). You can also use just a prefix such as N if you fly N-Numbered aircraft and then you can just enter the numbers as you fly them.
New Flight Auto-Populate
After entering a flight Logbook Pro remembers some of the information entered which can be used for the next flight log entry defaults. Set the fields you want to have remembered and auto-populated when a new flight is started. For example, if "Recall Last Date" is enabled then the last flight date will be entered for you when creating a new flight otherwise today's date will be used. You can recall the last Type, Ident, and also remember custom text columns such as used for crew, etc.
Route Options
If Recall Last Route is ON then your last route will be populated into your new flight entry automatically. In addition, if Start with Last Fix is ON then Logbook Pro will determine the last fix of your prior route and enter this value into the route field and append a hyphen "-" to the end ready for you to add the next fix. Start with Last Fix requires Recall Last Route to be ON.
Duration / Sim Calculations
To have Logbook Pro automatically calculate the flight duration for the duration or sim field set the calculation method from the pick list. If the date/time values are entered such as Takeoff and Landing and the duration calc method is "Takeoff To Landing" then tapping the calculator button on the right of the duration or sim field will automatically calculate your flight duration.
Use Intervals
If "ON" then the intervals will be used as discussed below. If "OFF" then tapping an Out/Takeoff/Landing/In (OOOI) field will initialize the time field empty for time input.
Time Intervals
Logbook Pro will automatically calculate the next OOOI field date/time based on the prior field. For example, Takeoff will be initialized to OUT + 15 minutes. You can customize the time intervals for the initialization in this section. Time intervals are in minutes. Next flight is the time lapsed between the last IN or Landing and the next OUT or Takeoff. OUT-IN is used when Takeoff and Landing are not used and sets the interval between the two inputs.
