• Database creation via dialog when Airlog initializes for the first time
• Login form when configured as a multiuser system.

Not implemented yet

• Import of Airlog mk. I data
• Report printing
• Editing of flights in a large table
• Administration of pilots (delete).
• "Fit for flight" / "Fit for Instruction".
• GUI is still rough, missing short-cuts just to name one detail.
• Aeroplane type administration (CRUD).
• Backup of data.
• Exporting data i XML. XML DTD must be defined.

Version 2+

• Be able to save locations with good thermal potential and construct a "Hotspot" map from the stored locations
• Import from other logbooks.
• Handle binary data, for instance pictures of turnpoints.
• Maybe use M$ Access as database backend as many people probably already has it installed. Volunteers ?
