Close Flight Log

Explanation

This activity is used to close a flight log. When all information pertaining to the flight log has been entered, the log should be set to the Closed status. Once the flight log is closed operational loggings that have been entered on the flights will be spread on the serial and its structure. If maintenance events have been finished for serials in the structure after the takeoff time of the first flight, operational parameter values of these events may need to be adjusted. This can be done using the options available in the Retrospective Logging Options area.

Prerequisites

To perform this activity, the flight log must have been defined.

System Effects

The flight log is set to the Closed status.
Operational loggings entered on the flights will be added to the operational log of the vehicle.
If operational parameters exist without any measure data, these operational parameter records will be removed from the flight log. This prevents storage of unnecessary and unused data.
The closed flight log will be moved to history by a background job after the number of days defined in basic data is reached. For more information on how to set up the number of days voided and closed flight log records are to remain in the flight log, refer the online help file Define Operator Information per Owner Organization.
When a flight log is moved to history, each flight reported against a valid operational event for an operational plan will result in the operational event being moved to the Operational Planning History as well.
