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.

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.

Click the User Settings menu button.

By default, N-Tracking uses the UTC time zone.
