Quick Start

Set up Block-Time in five minutes.

First Launch

Block-Time walks you through a short setup wizard on first launch covering three things: who you are, how you want times displayed, and which FRMS ruleset applies to your flying.

  1. 1

    Crew & Ops Data

    This section has two cards — Crew Info and Operations.

    Crew Info

    • Log Flight Time As — Capt for P1 time; F/O for P2 or P1U/S time; S/O for P2 time
    • Log PF time as — Shown when F/O is selected. Choose ICUS (P1US) or P2
    • Default Name — Pre-fill your name for your seat. Leave blank for none
    • Log S/O Names — Show S/O name fields when logging flights

    Operations

    • Inst Time when PF — Auto-adds instrument time when Pilot Flying: None, 15, 30, 45, or 60 min
    • Log Approaches — Track approach types (ILS, GLS, RNP, AIII, NPA) per flight
    • Default Approach — Shown when Log Approaches is on; pre-fills approach type on each new flight when PF
    Tip

    You can change any of these later under Settings → Crew & Ops Data.

  2. 2

    Flight Information

    Choose how Block-Time formats and displays flight data across the app:

    • Fleet Selection — Sets A/C registrations shown by default and enables ACARS Capture if available
    • Airline Prefix — Add a prefix to all flight numbers (e.g. QF)
    • Full A/C Registration — Show full reg (VH-ABC) or short (ABC)
    • Preserve Leading Zeros — Keep leading zeros in flight numbers: 0405 vs 405
    • Airport Code — ICAO (YBBN) or IATA (BNE)
    • Times Entered In — Enter departure & arrival times in UTC or Local time
    • Times Shown In — Show dates & times in UTC or Local time
    • Flight Times Displayed As — Decimal hours (1.5) or HH:MM (01:30)
    • Decimal Rounding — Shown when Decimal is selected: Standard or Alternate rounding
    Note

    Long A/C Registration, Leading Zeros, and Airline Prefix can't be changed after flights are saved without using the Edit button in the Logbook tab.

  3. 3

    Select the fleet that governs your FRMS limits:
