1 Introduction
Select a preferred time zone for use on the map
In this topic, you learn how to change the default time zone (UTC) used on the map and on the Flight Details pane to a preferred time zone.
We estimate that this will take 3 minutes to complete.
2 Detailed explanation
Change the time zone used on the N-Tracking map
By default, N-Tracking displays information in
the Flight Details pane and on the ACTIVE
LAYERS
pane using UTC time.
If you are
planning and tracking primarily domestic flights, flying in
and out of the same airport, you may find it more useful to
have times displayed in your local time zone.
Conversely, OCC
users typically prefer to use UTC as their default time zone.
When you begin your exploration of how to set
a preferred time zone for use on the N-Tracking map, notice
that the Flight list header shows the
time in the UTC time zone.
Similarly, the
time stamp on the ACTIVE LAYERS pane reflects the last
time the weather layer was updated, based on UTC time.
Click the user
name (Trainer_PF) dropdown button.
