Fligth Time Calculator

Hi,

every now and then, we all have this chore of updating the flight book and the pilot log book with these hard to calculate hours and minutes.

So several years ago, I made a web page for that. But that was even cumbersome, so now I have made an Android app for it, minimizing the number of key strokes needed.

Feel free to use it yourself.

Post your flights to OLC. Instant total flight time and a "flight book" with totals that you can download into Excel.

Keep an eye on that Herb, I think the flight time that OLC reports is sometimes the length of time the flight recorder was on, not the flight time.

I has always worked for me. Post a link to a flight that was miscalculated.

Tony is right. The OLC flight book shows not only when the recorder is first turned on and but when it is finally turned off. Check your flight with SeeYou, you will see. All of my flights on the OLC flight book show when the logger is first powered and are at least 15 to 20 minutes longer when I am on the ground, out of the glider and starting to clean and download the flight before I turn off battery power to the logger's off.

At least that's how my OLC flight book works.

The olc detail page has the correct flight time info, but the logbook does not. I use 3 min increments and go digital but .05. Much easier.

And you log flight time while you're cleaning the bugs off the wings???

Good thing the chicks andÂ* money aren't calculated based upon flight time...

Since my Air Force days, I've always logged flight time using tenths of
hours.Â* Works well enough for me (and the chicks).

Thanks Jonny

That is very useful, good for adding up instructing time etc.


Cheers

Initially, I didn't understand what it was for. Once launched, it's quite simple and straightforward. Great tool, thanks.

BTW, I use Flugbuch/Flight Logbook from JFAndroid (Google Play Store) as my electronic logbook. Great features, clean simple screens, automatic logging and recognition (by GPS) of launch/landing airfields from its own database, cloud copy, simple printing in a table form, great filters to check your time in a specific year, model etc. The only missing thing is XC distance flown.

Funny Tom, OLC seems to only show the time that they count for scoring for me. IE it shows from release to landing only. I am using the Powerflarm or SN10 for logging so maybe thats why as they dint start the logger until you are moving, and stop when you stop.
