Features

FlightBook was initially designed as an alternative to the proprietary Renchler log download program but has developed into a complete electronic soaring flight book and flight analyzer.

FlightBook is designed for Windows 95 / 98, and has been tested on Windows NT 4.

FlightBook is available as "shareware". There are no time restrictions to it use.  If you would like to contribute towards future development there is registration information at the end of this document.

FlightBook allows you to :

• Keep a manual record of all your flights in Microsoft Access file format.
