Hello everyone

 

I was wondering if there is a built in logbook in the 777? I mean for example in the fmc if there is a page that tells me how many hours i flewn this aircraft or this particular livery, for referncing purposes only

The real thing does not do anything like that, so I don't think anything of that type would be in. But there is a logbook inside FSX which I think would be the best existing tool to start with. Not sure you can use that data or export it easily, but it's here.

FS Flightkeeper can log those things, but it's payware. Awesome though.

No logbook, but I suppose you could turn on service based failures and track based on how many hours have gone by with those.

Well does service based failures show you figures on how many hours u have done?

There are "maintenance" pages for each system, the same as the NGX if you own that. What I mean is that you could pay attention to one, say the Air Conditioning as it can go 1000 hours between servicing (there might be longer ones, been a bit since I've dug into that part of things), and then track your hours that way. Of course you couldn't do it up to the minute, but it'd likely give you a base idea.

 

See how it says "next service in"? This started at 1,000, and as you can see it's now counted down to 967. Thinking if you really wanted to track things, you could just pay attention here and it'd basically tell you how many hours you've flown.

 

 

I'm keeping up to tabs with my hours via the FSX logbook (no pun intended, Ryan  )

Or you could just do that, but where's the fun? :lol:

Not sure about other Boeings but I wound find it hard to believe that they didn't have a similar feature. The B717 was able to bring up the engine data on the FMS which included total engine running hours since new/reset. This was a plug attached to the EEC of the engine. Same with the APU.

Now that you mention it, GA aircraft usually have Hobbs meters which indicate the engine hours.

 

I never saw something similar in airliners. Maybe some data are sent via ACARS?

(Edited for typo)

Departure and arrival time are sent to the airline one way or the other. The airline can then keep track.

 

In PMDG, there are some timers in some files. I don't know where exactly though. Maybe I will later find out and write a simple "logbook" of sorts.

AivlaSoft EFB keeps an amazing log.  OOOI down to touchdown rate.

There's a folder for each aircraft.  In the state.cfg it shows engine time.  It doesn't break it down by livery though.  This is the number the hobbs meter in many aircraft reads from, so you can change it if you want.

Sorry but I can't find any state.cfg files in aircraft's folders.
