Hi
I have logged a bunch of hours in my aircraft as an SEP but it has just been recatogorised as a microlight, without a change in registration. How do I tell SkyDemon to log future flights as a microlight please?
Thanks

Hmm, I don't know the answer to the question. Would you expect your previous flights to all change categories, or to start recording the new category only from the time the aircraft changed?

The latter - that's the way the CAA expects it. I'm now accruing microlight hours whereas previously they were SEP.

Can you not just copy the current aircraft profille and rename it, define it as a microlight and start using that?

Actually, having had a play with the logbook feature (I don't actually use it myself), a possible workareound is to subscript the registration with something that identifies it as a microlight (say '-M' or (M)) for the first entry that you want to make under the new classification. This will prompt you to define the aircraft category for that registration, which you can enter as Microlight.

Not 100% ideal, but it works.
