Procedures

Following steps are needed while using vACDM. It is not difficult be takes a few minutes to get used to

TOBT does not have to be confirmed for pilot to request pushback. It is only to give a more precise indication

Whether pilot has TOBT confirmed or not does not require anything from you. You can confirm it for him by Left clicking on the TOBT and select one of the following from the  "TOBT menu"

• TOBT now: Set the TOBT to current time
• TOBT edit: Write the TOBT in yourself
• TOBT confirm: TOBT stays at the time provided but becomes confirmed

If you edit the TOBT the TSAT may get changed to reflect the TOBT as well

Pilot requests startup

This gives you Three options depending on the color of the TOBT & TSAT. These three scenarios will guide you to what to do

Scenario 1: DARK GREEN TSAT

Call has correctly be made within TOBT +/-5 and TSAT isyet within the window for startup.

TOBT: Is Dark green when the time is within time for startup approval.

• TSAT: Is Light green when the time is valid but not yet within the window for startup.
• TSAT: Is Dark green when the time is within time for startup approval.
• TSAT: Is Yellow when the time is within 1 minute from expiring
• TSAT is blank if time is expired. 

• CTOT: Is Green, Orange or Red depending on the type of restriction triggering the CTOT.
