Maximum Daily Flight Time Limit

The maximum daily flight time limit is based on your start time and is either 8 hours or 9 hours for unaugmented crews.

You can create a Limit Group to make sure your next flight will not exceed your daily limit. Unfortunately at this time, LogTen is not able to tell if a pilot's daily limit is 9 or 8 hours. A sample 8 hour limit can be created as shown:

For users who track dates in local time (users who have their logbook set to local instead of Zulu), we recommend using "In Last 14 Hours" to get a more accurate reading of daily flight time due to LogTen using Zulu dates for groups.

Augmented crews are also subject to daily limits of 13 hours for 3-person flight crews or 17 hours for 4-person crews; Limit Groups for these regulations can be created following the same model as above.

If you have an 8-hour or 9-hour limit, depending on your start time and the number of legs, you can create both limit groups and only use the one that applies to the limits of the current day.
