Add a new pilot

  1. In the Pilot Logbook app on your Mac, select the Pilots tab in the main sidebar.
    If you can’t see the sidebar: Choose View > Show Sidebar.
  2. With the Pilots tab selected click the Add New button  in the toolbar.
  3. In the Detail  sidebar enter the new pilot details. At least a first or last name must be entered to allow the pilot to be saved.
  4. Click the Done button or select another pilot from the table to save the new pilot.

Modify a pilot

Modifying a pilot’s details will change the information across your logbook, all flights which are linked to this pilot will reflect the modified values.

  1. In the Pilot Logbook app on your Mac, select the Pilots tab in the main sidebar.
    If you can’t see the sidebar: Choose View > Show Sidebar.

Modifying multiple pilots

  4. Click the Done button or re-select pilots from the table to save the changes. All selected pilotd will now adopt the entered details.

Merge pilots

Two pilots may be merged together. This may be useful if you have unwanted multiple entries of the same pilot. Pilots which are selected for merging will be combined into a new singular pilot.
