Enhanced Status Board - New Widgets

Enhanced Status Board


The status board can be your hub of outstanding information interactive where tapping various rows will take you to related information such as updating a leg, viewing legality, etc. Tap the Edit button on the upper right to add/remove widgets for each of the three available duty phases. The previous "earliest report time" widget is revised to "Available for Duty" to show when you can pickup a duty period. New FAA Alerts widgets show FAA delay and stop info and will color code to yellow for delays and red for ground stops. Tap at any time to view airport status information such as downstream delays as well.

Revised Color Coding with new Projected Mode

You may see "orange" in the app now which will represent when APDL is in "projected mode" for your legality based on current delays. We all know things rarely go on time so how does a delay ripple throughout your day for legality computations? APDL will automatically detect this situation and give you updated values to help you with your legality equation.
