Hi,
I am a new user of SD, formerly JeppFD MFD and I want to know if it is enough to start the flight with the relating button and the the logbook is active with counting the Off Block time, flight time and so on, like in other Apps or do I have to go to the menu " start loggging"?
Thanks,
Sebastian

Hello,

Regarding the logging of the blocktime, I just manually start the logging of SD when starting the motor and stop it manually when stopping the motor.
SD has thus all the info as it detects the take-off and landing and records it separately....
Not sure how you want to detect the blocktime either.

Hope this helps.

Blocktime is not equal to engine-time. It is the time from your first movement with own power to the last own powered stop. That is easily trackable by movement on the GPS-Sensor and exactly what SD does already. They only do that for the time being to track flighttime, where they most probably use a specified groundspeed as tracking-trigger.
I know my wish resembles a luxury-problem. I wear a watch, i have two clocks in my cockpit and so on... But it is a really handy feature to have everyting together without having to think about that when starting to taxi...
Best regards
Chris

Well I agree I made shortcut assuming you would start moving once the moter is on and stop the motor once you stopped moving.. :-)
But you got my idea‌ :-)
