- plan the take-off in order to achieve targets at the destination and during flight, whilst maintaining optimum flight efficiency.
2. The Target Take Off Time taking into account the TOBT/TSAT plus the EXOT. Each TTOT on one runway is separated from other TTOT or TLDT to represent vortex and / or SID separation between aircraft.
