Arrival Time is Blocks-on Time.

Block Time 

Block Time is calculated based on the estimated Flight Time + an estimated 10 minutes DEP and 5 minutes ARR Taxi time at the departure and arrival airports.

*Change indication

When you manually set the block times in your flight itinerary, the color will change from black to blue. Indicating a manual change like in many other places on the sales page. Times calculated by the system will remain black:

Total Block Time

Send to RocketRoute

A more exact flight time calculation can be triggered manually with a click on the RocketRoute button. The itinerary and aircraft details are sent to RocketRoute, where a valid IFR route is calculated and forecasted winds (if the flight is in the next four days; thereafter it uses historical winds) are applied. The exact flight time including SID/STAR is fed back into our system and used for calculation.

On the Settings page, you can define FIRs that should not be overflown. The flight time calculated by RocketRoute will consider this restriction.

Flight Times calculated by RocketRoute will be displayed in blue. On hover, a tooltip will display whether winds are included or not.
