 *The aircraft is less than 0.5m above the current "Ground Height".
-The ground height of the aircraft is the height of the root prim over the surface. The ground height, up to 10m is automatically set when you first sit in an aircraft to begin a flight. For this reason, it is recommended that you also start a flight with the aircraft sitting on the ground when using the logbook. If the logbook is failing to detect landings, you can reset the ground height by clicking on the logbook and selecting Ground Height from the menu. This should be done with the aircraft sitting on a flat surface.

 ====Aircraft Type/Ident Detection====
 Type detection is performed by looking at the object creator and matching patterns in the object name. For Shergood aircraft, the tail number is also detected from the object name. For other aircraft, if no Type and/or Ident can be determined your most recent flight with an exactly matching object name/creator will be searched and the last Type/Ident will be used. This means that you only need to enter the Type/Ident data for an aircraft once as long as you do not change the aircraft object name.
 If the logbook does not detect your aircraft type, it will remain in standby mode after you sit. Reasons for detection failure could be that the aircraft is not in the type database (http://www.shergoodaviation.com/aircraft.php) or you have renamed the object in a way that cause the detection to fail. To force a type, click the TYPE column in the logbook entry and enter a type code. A # will be automatically prepended if necessary to indicate that it is a user-defined type. Once you have entered a manual type code, the logbook will switch to READY mode to indicate it is ready to begin logging flight time as soon as you begin moving.

 ====Continuing a Flight====
-If you crash or are accidentally unseated, you can continue a flight in progress. To enter continue mode, click the logbook and select Pause Flight from the menu. When the logbook detects you are relogging after a crash, it will also automatically enter Continue mode. Continue mode is indicated by a "CONTINUE" indication in the status indicator. In order to continue a flight, you must continue from the sim where you unsat and it must be in the same aircraft (type and ident). If the continue conditions are not met, then the logbook will being a new flight.
