Hi Neal,
I know I can do this with a custom counter field, but it seems that it would make sense to have a night landing column as a standard column... since vfr currencies require it for passengers at night.
As a sidebar, it always seemed very odd to me that it is not a standard column in every logbook... I, for one, don't start a new entry in my logbook when the sun sets so I can keep my night landings straight /forums/emoticons/wink.gif
Another of my pet peeves is the year box at the top of the page. If a single page happens to contain entries for multiple years then that box is misleading / useless... I think the date field should contain the year (which it does) and I should be able to remove the year box from my repot if I'd like to /forums/emoticons/wink.gif
Perhaps a third feature would be to have a few pre-configured currencies (just the really basic standard stuff like 3 landings in 90 days, six approaches in six months, etc)
Hehe, which brings to mind ANOTHER thing /forums/emoticons/wink.gif It is difficult to do currencies based on more than one thing... an example would be setting a currency item for a goal in training... i.e. 50 hours x-country time as pic. To work around this I created a custom time field that is labeled x-country PIC, but that causes me to log the same thing twice. Another would be 40 hours instrument... I had to create another column to cover all types of instrument instead of just saying its cumulative for sim / actual / simulator
Thanks,
James
