Logbook Questions

[Radial9 69]

I wish to log an around the world flight. I will only use an aircraft for that purpose, no other flights for that aircraft. I wish to log these flights cumulatively.

Can I zero out the logbook and have it reset for all aircraft? I read chapter 23 of the manual and did not see this discussed.

If I can't, I suppose I can export the CVS file when completed into Excel and calculate my trip stats. However, I don't believe I saw any date fields.

It would be great to have the logbook keep trip stats and still fly other aircraft. I could add turn on/off logbook to my checklist.

Any suggestions appreciated.

You can delete all entries by selecting them (right click and "Select all". Then right-click into the result table and select "Delete" to prepare for the world flight.
Make a backup to CSV before. You can load / append this later after doing the world flights.

Trip stats are shown in the menu "Logbook" -> "Show statistics". If you deleted all logbook entries before doing the world flight you'll see stats for this only.

You can disable the automatic generation of entries on takeoff and touchdown in the "Logbook" menu.

Hope this helps a bit.
