30 and 7

[slow2spool]

I have APDL 6.0.4, build 072706 for Palm on my Treo 650.

Just found that the Crew Rest page will catch 30 & 7 violations with a flight spanning midnight local domicile time at the beginning of the 7 day period, but it didn't resolve the reduction of time for a flight that spans midnight LDT at the end of the 7 day period. This gave me an erroneous 30 & 7 warning.

Ex.: 7 days- 4/30/07 to 5/6/07
Flight that starts late on the 29th and ends after midnight, the 30th, in my local domicle, 2:16 to be exact. Then the subsequent days through the 6th appear to add up to 30 & 7. However, the last flight on the 6th spans midnight and 1:46 is on the 7th. APDL calculates the 1:46 on the 7th in the 30 & 7 for 4/30 to 5/6.

Any ideas or is this a bug?

Thanks,

Mike

Eric...has there been any resolution on this? I am getting erroneous 32/7 warnings for extensive European trips spanning midnight.

If a flight is spanning midnight it will be counted in th 30/7. There is no way change this.

I have had similar issues, only it counts 8 days instead of seven and gives me continual 30/7 warnings

I'm having a similiar issue with erroneous 30 and 7 times that i believe are related to flights spanning midnight. The odd part is if you add up all the times on the crew rest page they don't add up to the 7-day total that is displayed. Somehow hours are being added in to the total and i think it's the legs that span midnight possibly being counted twice. Anyone else have similiar problems and a possible solution?
Thanks
