Setting ETD on the Maps page in the FPL Editor

Wind forecasts are used in the Maps view NavLog calculations based on the following logic:

• If the ETD is in the past, the closest forecast to the current time is used for wind corrections.
• If the ETD is set to a time between now and up to seven days in the future, forecast winds closest to the ETD are applied.
• If the ETD is more than seven days in the future, zero winds are used for correction.

On the Flights view, flights can't be planned with zero winds. Wind forecasts are used in the Flights view NavLog calculations based on the following logic:

• If the ETD is in the past, the closest forecast to the current time is used for wind corrections.
• If the ETD is set to a time between now and up to seven days in the future, forecast winds closest to the ETD are applied.
• If the ETD is more than seven days in the future, historical winds are used for correction.
