Logbook from 26 May 2025 showing flights are recorded out of order and with the incorrect time. This shows the flights are recorded in whatever arbitrary UTC time is set during the flight, not what time the flights actually occurred.
This makes the logbook an unreliable source of accurate flight log keeping. I want my logbook to record the accurate sequence of flights as I fly them, listed in my local time as they occurred. The time of day I set in the flight is irrelevant to this logbook.
• The Powrachute Sky Rascal took place at 1224 local, followed by the AT-802, then the P-51, then the DHC-6 flights. The sequence that I flew the flights is recorded in the logbook incorrectly. The logbook recorded the flights in the sequence that the UTC time was set during the flight. Three of these flights were Challenge League activities where the time of day set automatically by MSFS.
• The local times of the AT-802, P-51, and DHC-6 flights were at 1253, 1308, and 1319. The MSFS logbook shows that I was using MSFS at 1001, 1720, and 2256. The times recorded are wildly incorrect and they’re listed as if the flights occurred hours apart. This logbook indicates that I was using MSFS at all hours of the day.
