Users Guide
----------------------------------------------------------------
AircraftLog stores and tracks reoccurring aircraft items, such as
annual inspections, VOT checks, ADs, etc. These items are
specified in the AircraftLog.xml file and can be categorized.
This file can be edited with notepad to initally define the
items that are to be logged and tracked. Once this is done, any
subsequent updates within the application, for updating item
dates are written back to this file.
 
Each category is specified as follows:

    <Section name="Aircraft">
        <LogItem>
            <Name>VOR Check</Name>
            <Value>Apr-11-2004</Value>
            <Interval>30 Days</Interval>
        </LogItem>
        .
        .
        .
    </Section>

Each section contains the items to log within that section. Up to
9 items can be included per section, and must be specified using
the following format:

    <LogItem>
      <Name>VOR Check</Name>
      <Value>Apr-11-2004</Value>
      <Interval>30 Days</Interval>
    </LogItem>

<Name> The name of the item to track.
<Value> Signifies the expiration date of the log item.
        Must be in the above date format.
<Interval> The reoccuring time for this item.
           Example: 90 days - night landings
           Must be specified as a number followed by Hours, Days,
           Months, Years. Examples:
               30 Days
               90 Days
               12 Months
                5 Years

Squawks are specified within the application and will appear in
the AircraftLog.xml file as follows:

    <Squawks>
        <Description>AutoPilot Inoperative</Description>
        <Description>Left landing light inoperative</Description>
    </Squawks>

A 'Current TT' item is required to keep track of hour related 
tracking. This is specified as follows:

    <LogItem>
      <Name>Current TT</Name>
      <Value>5338</Value>
    </LogItem>


For VOR Checks a Signature can be added to the logging. This is
specified as follows in the Aircraft.xml file.
