Cycling states
Double-click (double-tap): advance 13m → 5m → RUN IN → JIA → NEG → 13m.
Double right-click: step back through the same order.
Starting a clock
The 13m clock first appears stopped at 13:00. A double-click on an unstarted clock starts it rather than moving on. The 5m call starts counting the moment you reach it.
Stop / start
Once a clock has been started, a single click (tap) stops it - black background, white outline, stop symbol - and another click restarts it from where it stopped.
Reset
Hold the right button for 1 second to reset just the clock that's showing: the 13m clock goes back to 13:00, the 5m clock back to 5:00, both stopped (double-click to start). The other clock is left as it was. Does nothing on RUN IN, JIA or NEG.
Adjusting time
Mouse wheel over a clock changes the minutes up/down and resets the seconds to :00.
Memory
The 13m and 5m clocks are remembered independently. Leaving a clock freezes it; coming back to it resumes it from exactly that value, until it has finished (reached 00:00), after which it comes back fresh.
ETD
The small time under the countdown is the local clock time the drop is due.
Symbols
A flashing climbing aeroplane shows on the right of the button while a clock is running and on RUN IN (labelled <5m during the 5-minute call). Once JIA is selected (jumpers in the air) it changes to a flashing parachutist. Nothing shows on NEG or while a clock is stopped.
Colours
Grey = NEG, dark red = 13m, orange = 5m, flashing salmon = RUN IN, flashing red = JIA, black = stopped.
All of this is saved locally; a page refresh carries on from where it was, with a running clock catching up the time it was away.

ATIS updates every 30 minutes, real time updates every 5 seconds and shows the standard 2-minute average.
Wind marked "2m" is the 2-minute average; "inst" is the latest 1-second reading. Max shows the highest wind (instant or 2-minute, gusts included) in the last 30 minutes, with the last 5 minutes in grey alongside, each with the time it occurred.
INFORMATION
Contact Beccles Radio on ONE TWO ZERO DECIMAL THREE EIGHT ZERO (120.380) at least 10 minutes before arriving. Circuits are at 1000ft and are to the south of the aerodrome (27 left-hand circuit or 09 right-hand circuit). Downwind joins are preferred. Parachute status will be provided upon your initial call with an estimated drop time. The local procedure is to remain clear of the Drop Zone after the '5 minutes to drop' broadcast unless arrival & shutdown is possible in the remaining time. During parachute drops, taxiing is suspended — engines may be started, except for rotorcraft. Normal procedures resume once the 'all canopies down' message is broadcast. Please avoid overflying local villages — when departing from RW09, please turn right onto heading ONE ONE ZERO DEGREES (110°) as soon as possible.
