How Wader handles cross-country time and how to set it correctly.
By default, Wader sets cross-country time equal to block time (OUT to IN). This is compliant with FAA 14 CFR requirements, where block time equals the aircraft in motion for flight purposes.
If your regulatory framework uses a different definition of cross-country — for example, one based on distance — you can manually adjust the cross-country checkbox on each flight. The default behavior can also be changed in Preferences → Cross-country default.
Setting cross-country correctly for your needs
FAA pilots: the default (block time = cross-country time) is typically correct and requires no adjustment.
EASA pilots: cross-country under EASA has a different definition from the FAA standard. Check your national authority's requirements and adjust the cross-country checkbox manually on each flight where needed.
The Cross-Country checkbox on the flight form controls whether that individual flight counts as cross-country in your logbook totals.
