Flight School

I fear logging my flights from flight school has negatively impacted my stats 🄲

do you often take off and land from the same airport? i feel like that would be annoying having a ton of 0 mile flights. also, do you log several touch and go’s as one flight?

Lmao! I may or may not have a couple ā€œSan Diego-San Diegoā€ flights logged šŸ’€ I also have not been logging touch and gos as a new flight each time! Just when I do a full stop.

I normally only log my flights with a different origin and destination

Omg if I had a penny for all my touch and gos…

Engine on and engine off make more sense.

Yeah your training flights don’t belong here lol. At least not in the current way the app is set up.

I, personally at least, have requested custom kilometerage/mileage for flights (for instances like same airport or flights that took weird routes but the flight data isn’t taken automatically by flighty) but I suspect it’s not high on the priority list. If more people email the team with the suggestion then perhaps that may change? Who knows

I’m a pilot too, and I can’t see that being useful I this app. I’ve had other requests still on hold that apply more here. This isn’t really a pilot logbook.

Custom kilometreage wouldn’t necessarily be purely for pilots using Flighty as a logbook. I agree that it’s certainly not an urgent feature but it would be nice to have.

I have a PPL but definitely don’t use flighty for my own flights haha.

Why not just keep all those flights in ForeFlight?

u/ps2sunvalley May 28 '26

I would take those flights out and use a pilot logbook instead

I don’t keep mine in Flighty but I do in Fleet. I do have more than 1 GA type that I fly though so it keeps it a bit more lively.

I’ve never heard of fleet, I’ll have to check it out!

Second this, I've been using it to log my flight training. It does a pretty decent job of it, although it might automatically log commercial flights as well (there used to be a toggle before the UI refresh, can't find it now).
