Overview

The Leg View is the primary view for updating entries in APDL. The Leg View can be accessed from multiple areas throughout APDL by:

• Tapping a trip on the Schedule View, then selecting a leg
• Tapping a trip on the Calendar View, then selecting a leg
• Tapping a row on the Logbook View (iPad only)
• Tapping the Active Flight widget on the .Status Board v7.Next
• Tapping the leg highlighted in green on the Weather Map

...

After the required data has been entered and saved, the leg will be closed out. Opening the Leg View for a closed out leg will display all the data in a read-only format. A locked out leg is indicated by a lock icon at the top right of the window where the Save button would be. Any attempts to edit data on a locked out leg will prompt you to unlock the leg by tapping the lock icon. After unlocking the leg, edits can be made again.

Payroll

The payroll row is used to determine Payroll and Legality. Certain selections will change the layout of the Leg View to correspond to the appropriate data for that type of payroll.

Flight Number

Flight number is a free form field for you to enter your flight number.

Departure/Destination

Choose your departure and destination airports from the APDL database. Airports can be grouped by tapping the tabs at the top of the window. Options are world airports, US airports, and Recently used airports. A fourth tab allows you to search for an airport.

Aircraft

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.

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.

...

The Scheduled and Block/Flight rows calculate and display the totals according to the times entered. Block is calculated from Out to In while Flight is calculated from Off to On.

Regulation

The regulation field allows you to select which type of regulation your flight falls under. This affects how APDL calculates your legality limits. Automatic selects the appropriate regulation based on your entire duty day. You can manually override the automatic selection if needed.

Position

The position field allows you to specify your role during the flight. This selection determines if various things will be logged in your logbook such as landings and PIC. Specific settings can be configured in the settings area.

Night

APDL automatically calculates night for you after times are entered based on your data. Entering Off and On times enhances the accuracy of the auto night calculation. You can manually enter a night value here if you wish to do so. The blue text below the night time editor displays the calculated night time. Tapping this value will set night to the auto calculated time after making a manual entry. To clear the night entry tap the black "x" icon on the right side.

Instrument

Manually enter your instrument time here if applicable. The blue text below the instrument time editor allows you to quickly enter the entire flight duration from Off to On as instrument time if desired.

Approach Type

Allows you to select the type of approach flown, if applicable.

Crew

APDL keeps a database of crewmembers you have entered. You can choose or search for a crewmember from the list for multiple positions of your flight crew. You can add new flight crewmembers from the settings area or from the Leg View by tapping the plus icon at the top right of the window. If more than two crewmembers are entered in the Pilots section, APDL will treat that flight as an Augmented operation with more than 2 pilots and use the appropriate regulations accordingly. Be sure if you enter flight attendants that they go into the Cabin Crew section so Augmented operations are not inadvertently triggered.

Go to the Crewmembers area of settings to view more details and statistics on your crewmembers.

Notes

This is a free form window for you to enter notes or remarks about the flight. Various information about the Departure and Destination airports is also displayed on the notes page.

The notes page also allows you to enter notes about the departure and destination airports. These notes are saved for that airport and will be visible on all other flights where that airport is selected.
