I just noticed when I submit a flight it is automatically saving my flight number as DVA001 no matter what I put in there. Someone may want to look into this if its a concern.

Just the flight number and leg like it asks. Then I submit it and it shows up in the logbook as DVA001 regardless.

Are you putting anything non-numeric in the field?

Same problem here. DVA001 appears in the logbook instead of DVA8721 (SFO-HNL) via ACARS. Used the "Search" function from ACARS to load up the flight in the program.

Want me to file an issue?

Thanks for that feedback, David. I'll make sure I check that out with Build 87 before I release it.

Cheers!

Hey Luke, its not just ACARS man, it does it even with the regular PIREP filing on the site. And no, nothing non numeric in the fields.

The same thing happened to me during my B737 checkride. The flight number read 001 instead of 711, and when i went back to edit it, it still remained as 001.

I'm having some incredible difficulty trying to duplicate this - I just created a manual PIREP as DVA043 leg 1 without issues.

Cheers!
