Time zone will be automatically calculated if you tap Use Current Position.
If you manually enter the coordinates, you will have to select the time zone.
When you tap Save, the waypoint will be immediately available on the iPad for route planning, and will be uploaded to FlightSpan™ Ops when you upload your DFR or when the next data sync is performed.
New helicopter waypoints are marked with a superscript H, and will not be available to fixed wing aircraft, except as en route waypoints.
New amphibious or seaplane waypoints are marked with a water symbol, and are not available to land airplanes or rotorcraft except as en route waypoints.
Edit Waypoint
To edit an existing waypoint, select Edit Existing.
When in a rotorcraft, only LZs are available, and when in a seaplane, only water waypoints are available.
Search for and select the desired waypoint, and edit as needed, then Save. The Waypoint ID cannot be changed from the iPad.
When done editing, tap the Hide Keyboard key if necessary, tap Save, and confirm you want to modify the waypoint.
