TAFB on Long Layovers

[jecomer]

I am trying to get APDL to correctly calculate TAFB on extended/long (24+ hrs) layovers. Take the following trip as an example

Day 1 5140 CVG 1940 EWR 2137
Day 2 Layover
Day 3 5141 EWR 600 CVG 803

APDL correctly calculates TAFB for Day 1 and Day 3. But with no flights entered on Day 2 TAFB is calculated at 0000. The only way I have been able to get APDL to calculate TAFB at 2400 is to create a "fake" flight. I simply entered a flight from EWR to EWR with no flight times. Is this an acceptable way to get the proper TAFB or to you have another more appropriate suggestion.

Thanks so much!

That is an acceptable way of getting APDL calculate TAFB for a 24 hour layover.
