FlightBook software version 2.5.1

as of November 16, 2005

What is FlightBook? FlightBook is a PC application which allows you to transfer, manage, analyze, save, and print flight data from your GPSMAP 96, 96C, 196, 296, 396, 496, 695, 696 and iQue 3600a. This flight data will automatically contain total time, day and night condition times, cross-country and PIC time, departure and arrival locations (airport name and ID), number of landings, aircraft ID, distance, max speed, and max altitude for each flight. Once in FlightBook, the flight data can be updated with additional information, including number of instrument approaches, actual and simulated instrument time, remarks, etc. Totals for the flights can be specified for all flights, select flights, or flights in the last user-specified number of days. Pilot logs can be printed using the 'traditional' layout or customized to fit the pilot's needs.

Added support for the iQue 3600a
Added preference that allows the time to be displayed in hours and minutes in addition to current decimal hours.
Fixed problem where unit preferences were not retained.
Fixed rare 'float invalid operation' issue.
Added ability to hide, show, or reorder more than one column at a time in the Column Layout dialog.

Fixed problem where FlightBook wouldn't run when the computer had no printer installed.
Fixed the tab order in the Flight Properties dialog.
Fixed the Night and Day total times in the printed report.
Corrected Ctrl-A to select all.
Fixed problem where FlightBook crashes when printing if the Report Layout specifies 'Use Totals Filter' and the filter doesn't specify any flights.
Added 'Filter:' field to report header if not All Flights.
Changed to blank out fields in the printed totals when they are 0 to make them consistent with all other fields.
