I read in the ATFCM user manual that TRS from that airport will prevent SRM and SAM to come, but the TRS is a limited time window, what happens next?
How do AO at much busier airports with taxi times of 40 minutes due to traffic handle this? I can't believe you are number X for departure and get a SAM at some point because you got issued a delay.
Thanks for the help.
Sorry but I am a bit confused. Should a/c start or depart in tolerans time +-15 according to EOBT? I am mentioning a flight without a slot.
For example:
EOBT: 10:00
Taxi Time: 10 minutes
1. A/C would start at 09:35 (EOBT-15-Taxi time)
2. A/C would start at 09:45 (EOBT-15)
Which one is true?
