- FinnAero flies scheduled flights, departure and arrival times are in UTC (GMT).
- You should set your FS Clock to proper (UTC) time before starting your flight
- In case you have to Hold, Go Around, Divert, or any other abnormal procedures you must always specify that in your Comment.
DELAYS and TOO EARLY arrivals:
Before pushback set your FS UTC time to correct departure time (+15 minutes to prepare your aircraft!!) . The departure time that will be registered on the FSA Flight summary is the moment after you start your TAXI phase (You will receive message - Flight State: Taxi)
After landing taxi to the gates and check your Shipboard clock (FS UTC). If you want to get ON TIME status in the Reliability report your deviation between the planned arrival time and your FS UTC time must be MAXIMUM + or - 14 minutes ! if it is more you will get a Delayed! label, if it is less you will get Early! -label! The FSA tracker will record the actual Arrival time at the moment you set your parking brakes!
What you can do if you arrive 15-30 minutes too early:
1. Stop at the gate, Connect Ground Power, Shut down all angines, DO NOT SET the PARKING BRAKE.
1.1 External Lights off, except NAV and Logo. (If you have FSPassengers, you can start playing music).
2. WAIT until the FS UTC is less than 14 minutes before Planned Arrival Time.
2.1 Then set your Parking Brake, and Your flight will end.
3. If you arrive more than 30 minutes early or more than 30 minutes late without any abnormal
procedures (Holding or emergency, etc) then you must send a REPORT. In this case we have to review the times reserved for the flight.
