A question about UTC time.

Recommended Posts

As I’m flying right now over JFK at 34K feet, I see my next location will be BAWLL and I’ll be there at 2322 UTC.

It goes down the list like this:

NEWES - 2327

JFK - 2330

RBV - 2336

DQ0 - 2345

And on down the list till I reach KATL which says I’ll be there at 1551.

So I’m confused.  If 2359 is one minute before midnight, 1551 will be 3:51 PM, UTC right?

KBOS and KATL are in the same time zone and the flight isn’t going to take this many hours.

Perhaps I’m confused.

 Thanks

Hello Jack,

 

That is a known bug that is slated to be corrected.  This will occur if an arrival runway is not been selected.  For now, simply enter a runway for the arrival airport, and this will allow the FMGS to fully calculate the distance and therefore the ETA.

 

I hope this is helpful to you!

Thanks Dave but I had an arrival runway inserted before I even took off.

Maybe your plan was one or more discontinuity lines?

 

That's what I was thinking as well.

 

I'm booting up in a few minutes and I'll see if anything else has changed.

 

Thanks to you both!
