TOBT : Target Off Block Time (Aircraft ready time)

• The TOBT and EOBT must be kept up to date all time up to
start up request in order to maintain FPL valid.
• Update TOBT with Ramp Agend.
• If TOBT differs more than 15 min from EOBT (ATC FPL)
OCC needs to file a delay message.
• TOBT can also be moved forward if you are fully ready Push back and Start-UP
Start-Up and Pushback
clearances are issued taking
into account TOBT and TSAT.

Following rules apply:

TSAT : Target Start Up Aproval Time
• Will be published 30-40 min prior to the valid TOBT
• Target time for start up approval

• Be ready and make a call to Delivery within +/- 5 min of TOBT
• The Aircraft needs to be fully ready for start at TOBT
• The Flight crew should request Start-up approval and en-route
clearance TSAT +/- 5 min.
• Clearance Delivery issues the start-up and en-route clearance
depending on TSAT and the current traffic situation.

Non Regulated CTOT Flights (NO Slot)

• 30 – 40 min prior TOBT the system generates a TSAT
If no Start-up is requested at TOBT +/- 5 min, the TSAT will be
invalid and TOBT must be updated

Regulated CTOT flights (SLOTS given)

TSAT will be generated based on CTOT and will be published ASAP.
Start-up request has to be done +/- 5 min to TOBT, if Start-up is not requested
at TOBT +5min TSAT will be invalid.
Take into account that Start-up normally will not be issued anymore when TSAT
and TSAT +5min to prevent CTOT non compliance during taxi as determined by
ATC.
