Custom

This tab is used to create your own time fields.

To create your own time field, click on the field and type in the desired name. Click on the checkbox to make it visible. You can also choose to have the field auto-fill from Total Time. Remember that this information can be used when creating Smart Groups.

Advanced

This tab has fields that are not used commonly but can be very helpful. Most of these fields will populate automatically.

At the top are Special night fields which you can use to further designate how much of your Night time was logged in specific situations. For most logging scenarios LogTen Pro will automatically fill in this data. But if you log multiple seat positions in the same entry (PIC & SIC) or if you log less seat time than Total time (Relief or Long-Haul flying) than you may need to designate how the Night time is appropriated. Please see How do I Track "Day" Flight Time? for more information.

You can designate:

• PIC Night
• SIC Night
• P1u/s Night
• Dual Rcvd Night
• Relief Night
• XC Night

Below the Special night fields, are three sections associated with the Type tab data. The data selected in these three sections will appear in the Logbook tab as reference only columns. You can view and sort these columns but they are not editable from the Logbook tab. To make changes to this data something must be adjusted in the Types tab.
