Last flight from LOWI - EGLC scheduled 1.9h flown 2.2h
Arcars started at pushback no missaproach and flown maximum speed. Get amber in logbook


Sorry guys this is unrealistic. Check the scheduling times.


Best regards

I've looked in to this and believe its because of your route; I calculate flight duration based on the great circle distance (512 nm) and then add time to account for taxying, airway routing, EGLC's crazy charts etc. This one is a tight schedule but it should be achievable.

It seems your route was longer than needed by routing westwards towards Troyes TRO VOR, France. Routing Northwest towards Brussels BRU VOR, Belgium is shorter. I would suggest something along roughly along KPT UL608 LOGAN, this passing through Germany and Belgium (there are lower airways roughly shadowing the UL608, like the Y180/Y181, these should give a route that's about 545-566 nm before SIDs and STARs). That should save you the few minutes needed for green OTP.
