Need to know when your Biennial Flight Review (BFR) is due?
In LogTen it's easy. In fact, no matter when your flight reviews are due, you can track them in LogTen, and easily keep track of how many days you've got until it's "that time" again.
Quick Instructions
Create a new Currency Group
Name it "BFR"
Set the "Entry is in the last" to "24 Calendar Months"
Set the criteria to Notes -> Flight Review -> is -> [ticked]
Click OK
The Detailed Instructions
Click the "+" icon at the lower left of the main window to create a new Currency Group. Now, in this case, we'll set it up for a biennial flight review, but you can change the time frame as desired.
Now that you have the group, give it a useful name, like "BFR", and set the "Entry is in the last" to 24 "Calendar Months" in the menu.
Note
We specify it in Calendar Months because it will reflect the most accurate representation of when your last Flight Review is about to expire. Remember that the date increment also affects granularity, meaning that if I selected 2 Calendar years, and today was 01-Oct-2020 then the group would match flights back to 01-Jan-2018 because it's looking for WHOLE years. The same applies to months, which is important if you need to track something, say total time within the last 12 months rolling from the first of the month to today.
Set the criteria to use the "Notes" category, then "Flight Review", "is" and simply tick the box to indicate we're looking for flights which have the Flight Review checkbox ticked.
Note: You may need to enable the Flight Review field in order to have it visible and available to select on the appropriate flight(s). Check out our articles on How to Configure your LogTen logbook fields for instructions on getting this enabled on Mac and iOS
That's it, click OK to close the Currency Group editor sheet.
Entering a Flight Review
Now you've got a group to track them, all you need to do is select the flight when the review took place, and tick the "Flight Review" box on the Notes tab.
Now, whenever you have a flight review, just tick the box, and your currency will stay, well, current!
