Ascot BZN

The way (Ascot) cacl'd mvt times were not as we (civil) did.

Trad way which still applies to most operational applications are:

A flight commences/terminates at Off Blocks/On Blocks (Brakes Off/Brakes
On) Published schedule times are basec on these times.

Flight time is cacl'd form wheels off to wheels on.

Doors closed/opened is a specific pax handling/traffic application.

Too simple really, there are so many interpretations operationally, but for pax ops the IATA terms are applied.

PS. I wasn't Ascot, but involved with BZN & the Truckers @ LYE
