If I do so having SkyDemon logging, how do I get the times of every landing listed? Not only first start and last landing but a list of all in between? Thanks Ontario

It's especially useful for student pilots, because when things gets really busy and you have a carousel of other aircraft flying with you around the same airstrip, you will inevitably lose count of your numbers when something or someone distorts your flying 🙂

Thanks Ontario Just open the log file with a simple text editor and get the times to 5 seconds correct.

You can use that to work out the times of landings, I must admit, it’s the first time in 29 years of flying that I’ve heard of the requirement to record the times of individual landings when doing touch and goes. Is it a club thing?
