Frequently asked questions
What does 61.195 limit for flight instructors?+
No more than 8 hours of FLIGHT instruction in any 24-consecutive-hour period — ground instruction doesn't count against it, and the period is rolling, not calendar. Schools tracking instructor flight hours per rolling day (this log's 7-day tile scales the same idea) stay legal automatically; schools that don't, discover the limit during an FAA records review after an incident. The sustainability question sits underneath: legal-maximum scheduling burns out the instructors whose continuity completes students.
Why keep this separate from scheduling software?+
Scheduling apps optimise the future and discard the past — cancelled bookings vanish, dispatch details live in fields nobody exports, and the historical pattern (the thing audits and retention analysis need) is unreachable. This log is the durable record layer: simple, structured, yours, exportable. Many schools run both: the app for tomorrow, this board for what actually happened.
Why doesn't this tool sync to the cloud?+
By design: operational records are sensitive, and the simplest privacy guarantee is never transmitting them. Local-only storage means zero servers, zero breach surface and zero subscription. If you work from several devices, keep one as the master record and move snapshots with the CSV export.
Can I get my data out if I switch systems later?+
Always — the CSV export is a complete, lossless dump of your operations record, generated locally in one click. Import it into commercial software, archive it with your files, or post-process it in a spreadsheet. No lock-in is deliberate: data you can't take with you isn't really yours.
