10W,
My understanding of the situation exactly. Just need clarity on what time I can get airborne.
Akhorahill,
You still do not understand the situation. Let me put it in a practical situation for you.
1) A CTOT flight must be airborne within -5 to +10 of the slot . No problem.
I understand and am happy to comply with that
2) An UNREGULATED flight can TAXI + or - 15 mins from FPL time. As I am sure you are aware taxi times at most airfields vary. EG.Malaga. Taxying for RW13 takes far longer than taxying for RW31 from the GAT. So I comply with the rules and am off blocks 15 mins early. Taxi time is short and I arrive at the holding point 5 mins later ready to depart. There are no other aircraft around, I have NO CTOT, I am an UNREGULAED flight - so why does the Spanish ATCO appear to take great delight in making me wait another10 minutes for departure. It would not happen anywhere else in our European CFMU region, so why in Spain? That is the simple question I asked many posts ago and nobody can give me a simple and definitive answer. OVER!
