Question 40

What is a CTOT?

Answer 40

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.
