Add equipment

From PG/PPG/HG or Other Aircraft, tap Add.

The current add dialog is:

1. Title: Add Equipment
2. Type options: Paragliding Wing, Hang Gliding Wing, Engine, Aircraft
3. Fields: Manufacturer, Name
4. For Aircraft, a Category list also shows. Pick the kind of aircraft, for example Other Aircraft. The list does not include paraglider or hang glider categories.

The dialog asks only for the basics. Open the item afterwards to add the rest, such as the Call Sign of an aircraft.

Add equipment during setup

During onboarding, the Add buttons on the equipment pages open a longer form. It shows only the fields that fit the item:

1. Manufacturer and Name, for every item.
2. Tank Size and Fuel Consumption, for engines and aircraft with a fuel tank. Both are optional and use your volume unit. Enter a number above zero.
3. Call Sign, for aircraft that carry one, such as light and heavy fixed-wing aircraft, helicopters, sailplanes, balloons, ultralights and gyrocopters. It is optional.
4. Glider Class, for wings. It defaults to EN-B. Change it if your wing is a different class.

Tap Save to add the item. See Onboarding.
