Departures?

[EvenAR]

Some real-life products integrate AMAN and DMAN data into the same view. Having the option to display departures would make it easier to plan for gaps in the arrival flow. The question is how to acquire the target takeoff times (TTOT).

The EuroScope API provides a departure time value, but from my understanding, this is the planned off-block time (EOBT) found in the pilot's flight plan. It does not take into account the taxi time from the parking stand to the runway. And I don’t believe many pilots put much effort adhering to the time they have entered anyway.

Another option could be to use the TTOT or CTOT (calculated takeoff time) produced by the CDM plugin. These are available from the following API: https://cdm-server-production.up.railway.app/ifps/depAirport?airport=ENGM

A third option would be to implement a simplified TTOT/CTOT calculation within the AMAN plugin, based on the time of pushback and expected taxi times.

Other options?

As a proof of concept, the latest version contains a departures checkbox. When this is checked, it will start fetching TTOT/CTOT from the CDM API. The label layout is currently not editable and the labels cannot be moved.
