Military Airfields / Events Log
Airfield Events Log (AF Form 3616)
A chronological, attributed log of the airfield day: every status change and completion, timestamped.
The day's record is scattered across every module that touched it
A runway status change, a completed check, a filed inspection. Each is real activity, but each happens inside its own module. Answering "what happened today, in order" by checking several different screens is how a real event gets left out of the account, or gets written down twice by two different people.
And once something is in the log, the next question is who logged it and when, not just what it says. A record with no clear author, or one added quietly after the day was supposedly closed out, is a record leadership can't fully trust.
One log, fully attributed, none of it retyped
Status changes and completions post themselves
Runway status, ARFF status, weather info, custom status-board changes, checklist statuses, and checks and inspections starting or finishing all post to the Events Log automatically the moment they happen. Nobody opens a separate screen to record that they occurred.
A manual entry for what happens outside the app
A phone call, a radio transmission, a visual observation. Log it directly, free-form or through a structured template, and it sits in the same chronological feed as everything the app logged for you.
A backdated entry doesn't blend in
Add an entry after its day's review has already been signed off and it's flagged Amended, so the record shows not just what happened, but when it was logged.
Every entry attributed and searchable
Filter to a date, a module, or a user and see just that slice of the log, with operating initials on every entry and the full name available on tap.
What it automates
Most of the log never waits on a person
Status changes, and checks and inspections starting or finishing, post to the log automatically. The log exists whether or not anyone thought to write it down separately.
A single day's account, not several module histories
Filter to a date and see everything logged that day in one feed, regardless of which module it happened in.
Every entry carries who, what, and when
Each entry in the feed carries the action, the entity it touched, a Zulu timestamp, and the initials of who logged it, so nothing in the day's account is anonymous or approximate.
Straight answers
Do I have to manually log everything that happens on the airfield?
No. Runway status, ARFF status, weather info, and custom status-board changes, plus checks and inspections, post to the log automatically as they happen. Manual entry is for things that happen outside the app, like a phone call or a radio transmission.
Can a logged entry be edited or deleted later?
Manual entries can be corrected by their author or an admin, and an entry added after its day's review sign-off is flagged Amended, so a backdated addition is visible as one, rather than blending in as if it had been there all along.
Can the log be filtered to a specific date or module?
Yes. Narrow to a date, a module, or a user to see just that slice of the day's activity, without scrolling the full feed.
Does the log show who logged an entry?
Yes. Every entry carries the user's initials in its own column, with the full name available on tap.
