Logging Time

Does MyFlightbook track duty time per FAR 117?
How can I log CFI or SIC Time?
How can I record a combination property?

The short answer is to simply record these fields discretely; MyFlightbook can compute the combined times.

Look in the 8710 form to see an example of how this is computed.

Since a flight is generally a cross-country flight or not a cross-country flight (indicated by time being recorded in the cross country field), the minimum of the (cross country time, PIC time) is used to determine PIC Cross-country time for that flight (and analogously for solo or dual cross-country time). The PIC (or solo/dual) time for a flight might be less than the whole time for the flight (for example, if flying duties are shared) which is why the minimum of the two values is used.
