Creating a trip can be done from the .Calendar View v7.Next or .Schedule View v7.Next. To create a new trip, tap on the appropriate blank day. On the popup window, select "Create Duty Period". This will display a "New Duty Period" window. You must enter the trip number and tap save to continue. Duty on and duty off times may be entered if desired. If you leave the duty times blank, they will be automatically calculated according to your Airline settings. You will now be on the Trip View in "Edit Mode". Tap the "Add Segment" row to add a segment to Day 1 of the trip. Enter the appropriate payroll category, flight number, departure, destination, and scheduled times in order to continue. When entering times, tap the active row to close the time editor or tap the next row to edit the next time. Tap save to return to the trip view. Continue adding legs until you have added all legs for that day.
To add another day to the trip, tap the "Add Duty Period" row. This will display another Duty Period window. An alternate method to add another day to a trip is by tapping on a blank day immediately following a trip on the .Calendar View v7.Next or .Schedule View v7.Next.
Repeat the process above to continue adding days and flights to your trip. When finished entering all legs of the trip, tap the "Done" button at the top right of the screen to exit Edit Mode.

Split duty is a special case that has to be created in APDL slightly differently than a standard trip. As the regulation specifies, split duty flying is considered a single duty period. It must be created in APDL as a single duty period as well. To create a split duty trip, create a trip as described in Creating in Creating a Trip aboveTrip above. When adding the first leg, set the regulation to "Part 117 Split Duty". Create another leg in the same duty period (same day) as the first leg and select "Rest Opportunity" as the payroll category. Set the scheduled times as appropriate for the rest opportunity. Create another leg in the same duty period and set the regulation to "Part 117 Split Duty". When setting the OOOI times for this leg, be sure to choose the correct date since it may need to be cycled forward by one day to reflect the correct flight date while being in the same duty period as the previous flight and rest opportunity.

In the case of a red eye, you will not have to create the entire duty period from scratch since you likely already have other flights on the same trip and don't want to recreate the entire trip manually. You can edit the trip by tapping the "Edit" button at the top right. Please see the Creating the Creating a Trip section Trip section above for details on Edit Mode. Add your red eye leg in the appropriate duty period using Edit Mode. When setting the OOOI times for this leg, be sure to choose the correct date since it may need to be cycled forward by one day to reflect the correct flight date while being in the same duty period as the previous flights.

Similarly to creating a split duty trip, creating two separate duty periods on the same day must be done in a specific way. This can sometimes happen when you have a trip that ends early in the day and a subsequent trip that begins later in the day. To do this in APDL, create the first duty period normally just as described above for a standard trip.
Enter Edit Mode by tapping Edit at the upper right corner and choose "Add Duty Period" at the bottom.
Next, tap the "Report Date" row (red square) to reveal the date selector. In the screenshot below, the date has defaulted to the subsequent day, Aug 19. You can use the left and right arrows to change the date as needed. In our example, we want to create another duty period on Aug 18, so we will tap the left arrow to change the date to Aug 18.
Below we can see that we have now created two separate duty periods on the same day. This is important to differentiate from just adding flights to the first duty period, since this creates a rest period in between.

This technique can also be used to create a trip that has a layover of greater than 24 hours. |

For accurate Legality and Payroll results, it is critical that pilots on reserve set ALL legs to Short Call Reserve, Long Call Reserve, or Airport Standby Reserve as appropriate. DO NOT select Block as the payroll category or 117 Unaugmented/Augmented as the regulation while on reserve. |

To create any type of non-flying duty, follow the same initial steps as outlined in Creating in Creating a Trip. After the duty period has been created and you are on the Trip View, create a "leg" and change the payroll category to the appropriate selection. Depending on the selection chosen, the "Leg View" layout may be adjusted to reflect the appropriate options for that type of duty.
