Could someone tell me the truth about NAT time periods ?
I know the numbers : daytime is Europe to America and is from 1130 to 1900 UTC, crossing 30W
From Paris to 30W there is about 2300km which would be about a three hour flight.
So takeoff from Paris would be between 0830 and 1600 UTC, that is between 930 and 1700 local time.
Maybe a tad earlier when accounting for the winds
So why the f would my book say that westbound flights take off early in the morning ??
When in facts they seem to be taking off all day !
And regarding the eastbound flights, validity is given between 1 and 8 UTC at 30W.
So 3 hours later you're between 4 and 11 UTC in Paris. Which is 5 to 12 local time.
There is no police working at such an early time is paris !
Thanks !
