Flight Log

The Flights tab displays a list of any recorded flights, including
date, route of flight, and flight time. The GPSMAP 296 saves up to
50 recorded flights while in Aviation Mode. Entries on this list are
automatically created for each flight.
The bottom of the Flights tab displays the time of your last flight.
This will reset if you select All Unit Defaults from the System tab
options menu.
An optional FlightBook software package is available to further
simplify your flight record keeping. For details about FlightBook,
visit the Garmin Web site at http://www.garmin.com/aviation.

Viewing the Flight Log

Recording begins when your speed exceeds 30 knots and you
gain 500 feet of altitude. The Route of Flight field uses the
nearest airport as the departure airport. The destination airport is
continuously updated as your flight progresses.
If you land and groundspeed drops below 30 knots, the flight entry is
saved and a new entry will be recorded when you depart the airport.
A touch-and-go or brief stop of less than ten minutes appends to the
current flight record, rather than starting a new entry.
Select any listed entry in the log to view additional information.
