Time Zones
Use these settings to choose how you want to handle times in APDL.
The "display times in" setting determines the format of times displayed in various areas throughout the app. The "enter times in" setting determines the active row when opening time editors throughout the app. The active digit in time editors can be selected to the upper or lower row manually during editing if desired.
Use the buttons provided to configure the custom setting if selected.
Example: If you choose to display times in Local and enter times in UTC, your trip view will display all times in Local and when you open a time editor the UTC row will be active.
Map
Enable or disable the weather radar, airport delays, and GPS location on the APDL Weather Map. You could disable these features in order to reduce data usage or battery usage if desired.
Logging
APDL can automatically calculate and log night time for you based on your OOOI times. Enable or disable this feature here.
Entering Off and On times is not required to close out flights, however, entering these times will increase accuracy of the Auto Night calculation.
APDL can automatically forward several data fields from one flight to the next to streamline the data entry process. If enabled, Auto Forward Airports will forward the destination airport to the departure airport field of the subsequent flight during manual logging. Auto Forward Aircraft and Auto Forward Crew will forward the aircraft tail number and crewmembers respectively to the subsequent flight. Each of these Auto Forward features forward by one leg at a time and occurs when saving a leg.
AutoFill
To help avoid incomplete entries and inaccurate analysis for legality and more, APDL can use cloud resources to automatically fill in missing data. A time delay is built in after scheduled arrival time to allow you to manually complete your entries, while allowing AutoFill to complete them if you forget.
AutoFill can be enabled or disabled for any of the selections listed.
Misc
Configure how you would like APDL to display completed flights on the "Completed Flights" row. "Grayed Out" will darken the color of completed flights while "Crossed Out" will strike through the flight number to indicate a completed flight.
APDL will prompt you when tapping cancel on an entry that has been edited to avoid losing data accidentally. If you would like to disable this feature, you can enable "Bypass Cancel Prompts".
If you would like to display the number of alerts on the APDL app icon, enable "Show Alert Count on App Icon".
Full Screen mode hides the navigation bar to display more information on your screen. Enable or disable Full Screen Mode here if desired.
Help
On your first time viewing certain screens, APDL will display a help overlay to briefly explain how to use that screen. If you would like to disable these help overlays, you can disable "Show Help Overlays". If you would like to view these help overlays again, you can tap the "Reset One Time Messages" button.
