Amending a Flight Log—Exercises

Main Exercise

Purpose: The purpose of this lesson is to learn how to set a closed flight log to the Amendment status and perform several changes. When a flight log has been closed, no update will be possible. However, there may be instances where you need to change data on a closed flight log. By changing the status of the closed flight log, you can perform certain corrections to the log in a controlled manner.

Prerequisites: The Close Flight Log exercise must have been completed.
