Step 4: Review Total Hours

The statistics page displays your total flight hours broken down by:

  • Total Flight Time: All flight hours
  • PIC Time: Pilot in Command hours
  • SIC Time: Second in Command hours
  • Dual Time: Dual instruction hours
  • Night Time: Night flight hours
  • IFR Time: Instrument flight hours

Step 5: View Hours by Aircraft Type
