old timetables question

[hobofat]

On the majority of timetables I'm looking, it's organized with a column going down of Cities, with an arrival time and a departure time for each city. So for example, arriving in Shannon at 0800 from Amsterdam, departing Shannon at 08:30.

However, some timetables have a departure time only listed for a bunch of cities in a row, with only the final city having a destination.

Is this a different plane departing from each city arriving at one destination around hte same time? Or is it just the plane arrives whenever and only departs at a scheduled time?

It's the same plane - they just don't list the arrival time. The estimates we used in the AI traffic package were:

International - 1 hour
Domestic, large (DC-6 and larger) - 30 minutes
Domestic, small (CV-340, etc.) - 15-20 minutes
Local Service Airlines - 10 minutes

This varied by airline - you can often figure out how long a few stops were, and extrapolate the rest.

Hope this helps,

Thanks Tom, I figured that was the case. I was thrown off by the fact that one schedule had tables in both formats. Might have been a paper/space-saving issue though.
