Online GAR in local time?

Sufficed to say, a very grumpy french customs man met us to complain we were so late! The same was the case on the return, though fortunately we were early to check out the aircraft etc but again the local customs agent had been waiting around for an hour. I have emailed online GAR, but it would make sense for the gar to use UTC, or for skydemon to populate the fields in online gar in the correct local time?

I think the issue may be that the OnLineGAR system can send a notification email to a French customs email address when it knows of one, and it populates it with Local time not UTC.

Correct. the email displays the departure time as LOCAL time, not UTC as it should be. @TimDawson, can this be corrected from within skydemon or is it a fault within online GAR?
