However I fly with my pilot buddy for nearly all my flights, usually with 2 or 3 pilot swaps at grass strips in a Ikarus C42. We both use SD when flying, whether P1 or as quasi-P2 - for backup and for assisting with navigation/airspace - and actually finding the grass strip which can be quite challenging at times etc. Indeed I want a record of all flights on my SD log, whether I flew them or not for all sorts of reasons - record logging, post flight analysis, pairing up with flight videos (I do all the flight videos) etc etc. So when I look at my SD log, it would be really useful to differentiate the flights where I was actual P1. As you can understand, currently they all show as though I actually flew them. Any suggestions, or I am just stuck with it the way it is? Loving SD and would not be able to get into most of these strips without it - 117 strips and counting.

I do this when I’m occasionally flying another aircraft where the flight log is conducted and recorded under my aircraft’s profile.
