Airport Code Display (ICAO vs IATA)

Places in IPL may include both ICAO and IATA identifiers.

Depending on your flying environment, you may prefer one format over the other:

  • ICAO codes are commonly used in aviation operations worldwide

  • IATA codes are often used in commercial or passenger-facing contexts

The Display Options screen lets you choose which code format IPL shows by default across the app.

This affects:

  • Logbook entries

  • Place pickers

  • Reports and summaries

Unit Preferences

IPL supports multiple unit systems so your logbook matches your operational standards.

From Display Options, you can select your preferred units for:

Weight

  • Kilograms (kg)

  • Pounds (lb)

Volume

  • Liters (L)

  • US Gallons (gal)

These units are used when entering operational flight data such as:

  • Fuel

  • Payload

  • Aircraft configuration values

Show On-Time Performance

The Display Options screen also includes a switch called Show On Time Performance.

When enabled, IPL can display small clock indicators in your logbook lists to help you quickly identify schedule performance for flights.

These indicators provide a simple visual reference:

  • Green — on time or early

  • Orange — 1–15 minutes delay

  • Red — more than 15 minutes delay

This feature is especially useful if you log commercial operations where departure and arrival punctuality matters, and you want these delays to be visible at a glance.

Best Practice

Display preferences do not change your underlying logbook data — they only affect how information is shown.

It is recommended to configure these options early so IPL remains consistent across:

  • Entry creation

  • Reports

  • Statistics

  • Database modules

You can update them at any time if your flying context changes.
