Hi All,

Could someone advise me if the departure times in the schedules are in twelve or twenty-four hour clocks please?

If in twelve hour, how do we if it is either morning or afternoon?

Thanks in advance

We don't know if they are AM or PM. I checked for 24 hr clock times and there are none. Could be morning or afternoon. Pick one.

You can check the SkyTeam schedule on-line for the correct time of day. Hopefully, the next schedule import will fix this.

It's not neccesary to fly the correct times, nor are they required on a PIREP. Not everyone can fly when the schedule says the plane leaves. If that were so, there would be a lot less flights flown.

Hi Michael, thanks for the reply, I thought it was me at first loosing my marbles.

I appreciate your comments about not flying to the correct times, it's just that I like to set my flight sim to the departure times.

Cheers

Dave - let me add to that for further clarification for anyone who may be wondering -

You can fly the flights at any time - i.e. it is 9PM at night real time for me and the flight is 1400 hrs departure. I can set the sim for 1400 hrs and fly it at 9PM or whenever I can - you can even fly it at 0400 hrs if you really feel like it. I personally prefer to fly the scheduled flights as close the scheduled flight time as I can - simulator time -

meaning that I set the flight sim to be the time of the flight regardless of the real time - some people prefer to fly all their flights in real time - i.e. it is 9PM so they set their flight sim to 9PM and fly it like that... your preference

hope that sounded clear - maybe I made it more confusing - hope not
