ETA: Where To?

[LH2]

I have a vague idea from my PPL days that, in VFR flight, your ETA is calculated as the time when you expect to be overhead the destination airfield (i.e., one circuit, landing run, and taxi before you pull up at the gate/parking space).

I wonder if anyone could confirm whether my recollection is correct as regards VFR, and also what the definition is for an IFR flight. Is that to SOA?

TIA

ICAO:

For IFR flights, ETA is the time at which it is estimated that the aircraft will arrive over a designated point defined by reference to navigation aids, from which it is intended that an instrument approach procedure will be commenced or (if no navigation aid is associated with the aerodrome) it is the time at which the aircraft will arrive over the aerodrome.

For VFR flights, it is the time at which it is estimated that the aircraft will arrive over the aerodrome.

Perfect. Thank you.
