Q

What is a SMM?

When is it sent?

What does it do?

A

Slot missed message

Sent by AO or FMP on behalf of AO when:
- the CTOT cannot be made, and
- the new EOBT is not known

This suspends the flight, an FLS is shown in the OP Log and is also sent to the tower. They should make sure the flight does not depart.
