Preferences

Preferences set smart defaults, so you do not fill in the same fields every time you log a flight. Wader fills new flights from your preferences.

Mobile: open the Logbook tab, tap the ☰ menu at the top right and choose Preferences. On iPad, Preferences is also in the side bar.

Your default flight settings

Logbook defaults

Preference	What it sets
Tailnumber prefix	The country prefix for your aircraft registrations (for example G-, N, PT-)
Flight number prefix	Your airline’s flight number prefix (for example BA or BAW). ADS-B uses it to recognise your airline’s flights
Crew size	The default number of pilots for new flights
Function	Your default role (PIC, SIC, Dual and so on)
Multi-pilot	Whether new flights are multi pilot operations
Flight Rules	IFR, VFR or IFR+VFR
Flight Conditions	None, Actual Instrument or Simulated
Cross country	Whether cross country is on by default for new flights
Auto calc night time	Whether Wader works out night time for you

Changes apply to new flights from then on. Flights you have already logged are not changed.

Note

Flight number changed by itself on a wet lease flight? When a wet lease (ACMI) flight is renamed around departure to a number that matches your Flight number prefix, Wader switches the flight number automatically. See Logging with ADS-B.
