New Feature: Operational Tag Details & Tracking We've implemented a comprehensive operational details system that allows pilots to track specialized flight operations with unprecedented precision. What's New: Advanced Operation Tracking - Track specialized operations including Fire Fighting, EMS, Search & Rescue (SAR), Sling Operations, Survey, Offshore Support, Powerline Patrol, and Pipeline Patrol - Each operation type now has detailed subcategories for precise classification - Record specific metrics for each operation type (time allocation, cycles, rotations) Intelligent Data Collection - Time Tracking: Allocate specific portions of your flight time to operational activities - Cycles Counter: Track water drops (fire fighting), sling loads, and other repetitive operations with quick preset buttons (5, 10, 15) and fine-tuning controls - Rotations Counter: Log platform landings for offshore operations with easy-to-use sliders - Environment Tags: Mark flight conditions including Mountain, Arctic, Desert, Offshore, Urban, Confined Area, and Unprepared Surface operations Beautiful, Intuitive Interface - Sleek expandable cards with color-coded icons for each operation type - Interactive sliders for precise data entry - Quick-action buttons (FULL/CLEAR) for rapid time allocation - Plus/Minus controls for fine-tuning counts - Visual indicators showing which operations are configured - Smooth animations and transitions throughout EMS-Specific Features - Dedicated EMS Sling Time tracking for medical evacuation operations - Separate time allocation for sling operations during EMS flights Smart Validation - Automatic validation ensures operational time doesn't exceed total flight time - Warning indicators when flight time needs to be entered first - Maximum value enforcement (50 cycles, 30 rotations) - Support for both EASA (HH:MM) and FAA (decimal hours) time formats Professional Workflow - Subcategory selection for each operation (e.g., Water Bombing, Helitack, Rappelling for Fire Fighting) - Configuration status indicators with green checkmarks - Auto-expand sections with existing data - Seamless integration with existing logbook entry system Technical Implementation: - Full data model support with Codable protocols for API synchronization - Local state management for smooth, responsive user experience - Automatic time format conversion between EASA and FAA standards - Environment tag selection with FlowLayout for optimal space usage - Matches the polished design system of existing time entry components Use Cases: Perfect for professional helicopter and fixed-wing pilots working in: - Wildfire Operations: Track water drops, helitack missions, and fire rappelling - Emergency Medical Services: Log HEMS flights, air ambulance operations, and organ transport - Search & Rescue: Document search operations, rescue missions, and SAR training - Utility Operations: Record sling loads, construction work, and utility inspections - Offshore Support: Track crew changes, platform landings, and offshore logistics - Survey & Patrol: Monitor aerial photography, powerline inspections, and pipeline patrol This update provides the detailed operational logging required by professional aviation operators, flight schools, and specialized aviation companies while maintaining the clean, user-friendly interface PilotLinked users love. --- Version Compatibility: Fully backward compatible - existing logbook entries remain unchanged, new operational details are optional enhancements.
