Catching up on data entry. Up to this point all flights have been within a single time zone, e.g. either CST or EST. Now the entries cover multiple time-zones.

Is there a way to designate a timezone (local or Zulu) with each block time entry, OR must I convert the times to Zulu before entry into LBP PC, PPC?

I will begin using ADPL in the new year. Please consider this in your answer.

Thanks:)

If you already know the duration, don't worry about the times, they really serve no purpose unless you want a record of them. Otherwise yes, you'll need to keep them in a the same time zone, such as ZULU.

The times have no purpose in Logbook Pro other than to allow you to auto-calculate the duration of a flight. In this case, i.e. you are needing Logbook Pro to calculate your Duration, then you need to keep a consistent time zone so it gets the correct number of hours/minutes from departure to arrival (off/on).
