just a little clarification
Just a little clarification, if you are not yet airborne at ETOT (Estimated TakeOff Time) +16 , (where ETOT=EOBT + Taxi Time) the flight will be not suspended yet. The FAM (Flight Activation Monitoring) procedure start at 25 minutes after ETOT. from 1st of may wil be reduced to 20 minutes. Then recapping and considering us operating after 1st of may if you have an eobt 10.00Z and an airport taxitime of 10' you will be suspnded at EOBT + Taxitime + 20 = 1030z. Eurocontrol reduced the FAM windows from 30'to 20'in approximately 1 year (or little more) to avoid the situation of Flight/aircraft living in a "limbo"between needing a delay (after 15 minutes of ETOT) and not being suspended. now this period of time is reduced to 5 minutes.
