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.
