The @ symbol specifies the time that the aircraft will arrive at its destination. In this case: GFAT,1%,WEEK,IFR,1/07:50,@1/15:35,360,F,0711,CYULI believe the aircraft would arrive at Montreal (Cyul) at 15:35 GMT on Sunday (specified by the #1 preceeding 15:35) The #1 may mean Monday - not sure.Adam

Thanks for the reply :-) The point I meant to make was that the @ isn't always used and was wondering what effect this had. ThanksRen

>John states in part: "The last and most confusing>symbol is the @ sign, this is placed in front of the>arrival time to force an aircraft to arrive at an airport at a>fixed time. Most of the flight plans from MRAI, flightsim.com>and avsim.com seem to use it as standard.">>Thanks to John for all he does for us online.Thanks, that's answered that for me, so maybe by removing the @ symbol the arriving aircraft will be more spreadout rather than arriving in bunches?RegardsRen
