38
Q

What are EOBTs?

A

Estimated off blocks time

Aircraft must be off blocks within -15mins or +15mins of this time.

39
Q

Can a time on a flight plan be changed?

A

To a later time it can by a DELAY message

Earlier not possible, flight plan would have to be cancelled and refiled

40
Q

What is a CTOT?

A

Calculated take off time

May be issued to comply with ATFM slots

  • If a flight has a CTOT that cannot be met, then the AO shall send a DEL message to IFPS with the new EOBT of the flight. This may trigger a revised CTOT.
  • If a flight has a CTOT with some delay and the AO is aware that the original EOBT cannot be met but the existing CTOT is acceptable, then a message shall be sent to IFPS with the new EOBT of the flight. However, in order to avoid triggering a new CTOT, the following formula must be used= take the current CTOT minus the taxi time, minus 10minutes, the new EOBT must not be after this time.
  • If a flight has had a CTOT and now receives a slot cancellation message but the original EOBT cannot be met then the AO shall communicate the new EOBT by use of a DEL message. ATC/ATFM will now have the true EOBT of the flight.
41
Q

How is the route entered on a flight plan?

A

If a deep Aerodrome is connected to the ATS route structure the designator of the first ATS route
Or
If a departure aerodrome is not connected then DCT followed by the point of joining.

Then

Each point at which either a change of speed and or level or a change of ATS route is planned or a change of flight rules is planned which must be detailed.

M= Mach no. To nearest hundredths of unit Mach in 3 digits e.g. M082
43
