Garmin logs the date and the time length of each flight. If iFly does that I have not seen it. I am familiar with the flight path but there is no time length associated with it to place in my log book.

iFly does have a flight timer, if that's what you're looking for. On the iFly map page Setup>Instrument Layouts...>(Read and) OK>Add Instrument> (Select) Flight Duration>Add. It will then appear on your screen, move it to where you want. Repeat for any other instruments you'd like to add, then Save either as the current or give it a name.

If you touch the Flt Duration instrument, you'll get the option to Reset Timer, or Close. This instrument starts and stops timing at 20Kts.

The historical logs have a time stamp associated with each data point. If I remember correctly, I pulled each log into excel as a .csv file and then deleted every line with a speed < 15 and every line with an invalid GPS coordinate. The result was (hopefully) taxi/takeoff roll to landing/rollout. For flight time, I subtracted the first data point from the last. It's laborious to do manually, but a script can do it in a few seconds.

It goes without saying that a valid GPS fix is required for this to work. It also seems like quick reboots in flight would continue the same log, but a brief delay between sessions started a new log. In those cases, I just appended the log files together.

Also, I think iFly has hinted that a logbook feature is somewhere in the pipeline.
