This activity is used to define the flight log for a vehicle. All the flights that have been completed within a day should be logged in the flight log, usually by the Pilot. When you are entering a flight log for the first time, you need to manually enter a flight log number to identify the flight log. When the next flight log is entered for the same vehicle, the last flight log number recorded against the vehicle will be retrieved automatically and incremented by 1 to get the new flight log number (this requires that numerical flight log numbers are used). The suggested value can be changed, if needed.
At creation, the flight log is set to the Open status. Information pertaining to a flight can only be added as long as the flight log is open. Only one flight log can be open for a vehicle at any given point in time. When all information for a flight log has been entered it should be set to the Closed status.
