I just did this....i got my info from Mircrosoft.....It's easy.
First go to your logbook file, located in your My documents folder in a folder called Flight Simulator X. You can delete it, or rename it to something like logbook original if you want to save it. It will automatically create a new logbook file when you start MSX again. If you really want a clean slate go to your Microsoft Games/Flight Simulator X main folder and find the subfolder call "Rewards" open it, selct all and delete them. You will delete all certs and rewards and be starting over with a brand new record. That's it!

Oh...something else i did that I found helpful...download the logbook editor from this site located in the FSX Misc section. It's easy to install and it allows you to fix the many mistakes the FSX makes to your logbook. Mine often misses entries, puts in wrong dates and times and locations. The editor seems to record the flights FSX misses, and allows you to fix the mistakes it amkes so you have an accurate logbook the next time you view it in FSX. Plus you have a backup hat is easy to print.

Thanks for the tip about the logbook editor. I just finished a flight that lasted almost 5 hours and I didn't get credit for the landing Grrrrrr!!!
