Choose your aircraft tail number from the APDL database. Select from the list or search in the bar at the top of the window. Aircraft tail numbers are attached to an aircraft type to simplify the entry process and avoid errors. Aircraft types must be added from the settings area, while new aircraft tail numbers can be added from the settings area or from the Leg VIew. 

AutoFill Now

AutoFill can be manually triggered without waiting for the time delay by tapping the "AutoFill Now" button.

In order to use AutoFill Now, certain conditions must be met. At a minimum, you must have chosen an Airline in Settings/Airline and entered flight number, departure airport, and UTC date of departure. If the same flight number is used multiple times in a day, enter the destination airport to improve AutoFill Now results. Using AutoFill Now may result in incomplete data as it does take some time for the cloud resources to be updated with actual OOOI times. 

There is more to the AutoFill Now feature than just closing out a flight when done. It can also be used as a schedule importer. If you picked up a flight or did not or could not use the schedule importer, enter the flight number and then enter your departure and destination fields. AutoFill Now will pull in your scheduled times and gates for your new flight, and of course if the flight is already flown, your actual times, aircraft if available, etc.

So as you can see this is not just a flight close out feature but also for flights picked up or changed that can even load scheduled info such as a pseudo schedule importer. More details on AutoFill can be found in Settings/General.

Note

AutoFill can only process flights within the past 7 days or upcoming 3 days.

Times

All time editors within APDL function the same. On the Leg View there is a section for Scheduled and Actual times. Scheduled times should be preloaded automatically with the importer or manually. Actual times are entered when the flight is completed. Tap each row to enter the associated time. Tapping a row will expand the view and display the time editor. The time zones used for the top and bottom rows of time editors will vary depending on your time zone selections in Settings/General. If you use the default settings, the top row will display local time and date for the departure or destination airport selected above as appropriate. The bottom row will display UTC time and date. The green box indicates the digit that is currently being edited. You can tap any digit on the local or UTC row at any time to edit it. Changing the "Enter Times In" setting in the Settings/General will set the green box to default to the local or UTC row as selected.
