Pilot's Personal Flight Log v1.0.0
Thank you for trying Pilot's Personal Flight Log. This Program was written by
Greg Kelley, a Commercial Pilot/CFII and Computer Specialist with the
University System of New Hampshire. PPFL was written using Microsoft Access
v7.0 for Win95 and will run under Win95/NT only. If you have any questions,
you can contact me after 5pm Eastern Time at 603.659.6469 or e-mail me at
g_kelley@usnh.unh.edu.
INSTALLATION
There are two Installation Versions: Full and Compact. The Full version is
distributed on 5 Disks and includes MS-Access v7.0 Run-Time. If downloaded
from the internet, be sure to set the Label of each installation disk
(DISK1, DISK2, etc.). The Compact version is for those who already have
MS-Access v7.0 Installed and includes only the .mdb files. It is
distributed on 1 Disk and will install the Win95 or NT (v4.x) Shortcuts
or NT (v3.xx) Group Icons.
Installation is the standard Windows format: Disk 1 in Drive A: and

Typical Installation Option. If you already have MS-Access v7.0 installed,

OVERVIEW
PPFL was designed with simplicity of use as the main feature. When you start
PPFL, you are placed in the Log Form. There is a 'seed' record in the
Aircraft Data and also in the Log Data. Your first step is to click on
Aircraft and modify the first record. Next, you can add more Aircraft to
match those you fly. You are now ready to make Log entries. Modify the
first Log Record to match the first entry in your Log Book. You can then
add as many log entries as you wish.

FORMS
Flight Log
* This is the Main Application Window for PPFL. Command Buttons are
described above. You must select an Aircraft from the list. You
may manually type in an Aircraft to select from the list in an existing
Log record. You may enter a new Aircraft manually in the list only when
entering a new Log Record; this brings up the Aircraft Form. You may not
add a new aircraft in an existing Log Record.
* The Aircraft List is updated any time you add or delete an aircraft.
* When you add or modify a log entry, the Flight Time (Duration) is added
or changed in the Total Time of the Aircraft assigned to the Log Record.
* If you change Aircraft using the list, the Flight Time is deducted from
the old Aircraft and added to the new Aircraft.
All
* This is the Total Flight Time for All Aircraft Form. It is informational
in purpose, like an on-screen report. Buttons are described above.
Summary
* This is the Total Flight Time for the (Selected Log Record) Aircraft Form.
It is informational in purpose, like an on-screen report. Buttons are
described above.
Type
* This is the Aircraft Type Data Entry Form. There are three 'seed' records
already loaded: SEL, SELHP, and MEL. These records are linked to the
Aircraft Records so that total time by Type can be calculated. Buttons are
described above.
Pilot
* This is the Pilot Information/Currency Data Entry Form. Data fields are
self-explanatory. The Medical Due field is calculated using your Medical
Type and Medical Date. If you are beyond the Due Date the field turns red.
* The IFR Currency Due field is currently calculated 6 months after your
IFR Check Date. This currency calculation will change soon and an update
will follow.
* The BFR Due field is calculated 2 years after your BFR Date.
