Default Garmin 696 Logbook function

Hello folks,

I am surprised to find that the logbook function only seems to go back 2 months. I've been flying my 696 since July. I went to update my paper logbook today and discovered that the 696 "Flight Log" page only has flights back to 2-Oct of this year.

I'll RTFM, but wondered if anybody had the gouge on how to access earlier flights. I still have the hobbs meter as a backup, but would really like to grab some leg-specific data as well.

Thanks,

Tim

It only stores the 50 most recent flights (see manual appendix F).

cheers,

I know, I know...RTFM. Thanks for the info.

I wonder why it only displays the last 50?

It does kind of say nice things about life...50 flights since 2 Oct.

Hobbs time will be more than what's recorded on the Garmin too. Seems it has to be about 80 feet off the ground before it starts recording..... as I remember.
