Notebook

FliteStar’s Notebook is a convenient way for you to keep your notes in a text format while FliteStar is running. The text files can be opened by a text program, word processor, or within FliteStar. Notebooks can be used in several ways: as a means of taking notes on a particular trip or event, to keep fuel logs electronically, or to keep a maintenance log. Notebooks are stored in the folder called Notebook in the FliteStar directory.

Click on the Notebook tab in the Enroute Charts View or click Tools > Notebook.

The buttons for working with the Notebook are located in the lower left corner of the display.

Beneath the buttons the name and file path of the active notebook is displayed.
