Legality Lozenges
Legality is based on all Leg activities entered for a Duty period on the 91783178 Legality or 91783178 Legality, or imported via the Schedule Importer.
Legality is displayed throughout the app using the following lozenges.
Status | Description |
|---|---|
  | Duty period meets all 117 requirements * |
  | Current Duty Period has Legality Issues |
  | Future or Past Duty period has/had legality Issues |
The Legality lozenge found on the main menu indicates your status for the current or next duty period.
When navigating a sequence in Trip View, the Legality lozenge for each duty period is shown on the first row.
In this example day one is legal. Day two has two issues that need attention. Tapping on the Legality lozenge on any screen will open the Legality View.
Part 91
If all activities for a certain day only contain Part 91 flights, a Part 91 specific lozenge will be displayed.
As certain features in APDL are not applicable to Part 91 operations, some pages are disabled.
Duty Period and Legs
Each Duty Period is represented with a Duty On and Duty Off time.

All Flight crewmember responsibilities and assignments assigned by the certificate holder must be logged as a duty period to accurately analyze your legality and provide a Legality Status. |
Payroll Types and Legality
APDL Contains a number of pre-defined Payroll types to categorize your duty. Payroll types in APDL identify the tasks that a flight crewmember performs as required by the certificate holder, including but not limited to flight duty period, flight duty, pre- and post-flight duties, administrative work, training, deadhead transportation, aircraft positioning on the ground, aircraft loading, and aircraft servicing.
The basic payroll types that you will use most often with Legality are :
- Block - Scheduled or Actual flight segment
- Deadhead - Flight crewmember is a passenger or non-operating flight crewmember, by any mode of transportation, as required by a certificate holder, excluding transportation to or from a suitable accommodation.
- Canceled - Scheduled flight segment has been canceled.
- Short-call Reserve - Flight crewmember is assigned to a reserve availability period.
** See the 91783178Legality Section for a complete list of Payroll Types and details.
...
Each leg also contains a Regulation section. By default, Regulation for each leg is Automatic.
With Automatic selected, the regulation type used to compute your duty period legality is based on the most restrictive leg type.
...
- Reserve and Augmented Crew = Part 117 Augmented Reserve
- Any Split Duty = Part 117 Split Duty
- Reserve = Part 117 Reserve
- Augmented Crew = Part 117 Augmented
- Unaugmented Crew = Part 117 Unaugmented
- Part 91
- Unaugmented Crew = Part 117 Unaugmented
- Augmented Crew = Part 117 Augmented
- Reserve = Part 117 Reserve
- Any Split Duty = Part 117 Split Duty
- If APDL can not determine the Operation type it will revert to your selected default regulation in Settings/91783178Legality.
For most operations you define under payroll, the automatic Regulation Type does not need to be changed.

Each airline codes split duty pairings a little differently. As a result, the schedule importer is not able to import a split duty period, therefore split duty must be manually entered. See the 91783178 Legality page for details on how to properly create a split duty trip. The format is different than standard trips and failure to use the correct format will result in legality issues.
