Creating a Trip
Creating a trip can be done from the Calendar View or Schedule View. 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.

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 a Trip 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.
A correctly entered split duty trip looks like this
This is an incorrectly entered split duty trip. Even though these examples use exactly the same OOOI times, entering a split duty trip like this will cause legality errors. APDL sees this as two separate duty periods with insufficient rest between.

A Red Eye flight can sometimes cause legality issues to pop up in APDL similar to the way a Split Duty Trip can cause legality issues. APDL may indicate you have insufficient rest. This usually occurs when you have a duty period where the last leg is a red eye that departs after midnight. The red eye flight is the last flight in the duty period and must be entered included as part of the same duty period in APDL. This is no different than if you had a late flight that got delayed to the point that it departs after midnight even though it was scheduled to depart before midnight. In this case, the flight would still be entered in APDL with the previous "day" (single duty period) of flights, but the date of the OOOI times would be sequenced to the following date. The schedule importer doesn't understand this and red eyes departing after midnight can sometimes get imported improperly as a single flight in a duty period by itself, usually with only an hour or so of "rest" since the previous flight. If the schedule importer incorrectly imports your red eye flight as a separate duty period you will need to manually delete that duty period and recreate the red eye leg manually. How to Delete a Duty Period
...
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.

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. |

Creating an Airport Standby Period can be done from the Calendar View or Schedule View. To create a new Airport Standby Period, tap on the appropriate blank day. On the popup window, select "Airport Standby". This will display a "New Duty Period" window. Enter duty on and off times and tap save to continue. You will now be on the Trip View.
Adding legs to an Airport Standby Period functions exactly as described in Creating a Trip above.

To create any type of non-flying duty, follow the same initial steps as outlined 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.

If you need to reset your rest time for any reason, you must create a duty period in APDL. There could be various reasons you may need to reset your rest time, such as an exceptionally long delay in reaching your hotel after landing on the last leg of the day, an interruption in your rest period by crew scheduling, or any task required by your company for any reason. These reasons could include bidding, at home online training, or contacting crew scheduling while off duty for an assignment. If these items are not entered, APDL will continue to calculate rest from the last time you were released from duty. This could potentially result in an undetected illegal rest situation.
