Term · Aviation and air traffic control · MLC-T-AVN-000297

An EDCT time generated by the ATCSCC to regulate traffic at arrival airports.

In the event of a communication failure between the traffic management system computer and the NAS, the CT message can be manually entered by the TMC at the en route facility.
