Technically, Time Based Separation helps only arrivals since it tries to negate the effects of headwinds on final approach, but it does add a lot of resilience to the airport to absorb delays that would normally ripple to departures.
- dghughes 9y agoI'm pretty sure it doesn't I was reading about it and it mentioned even when the pilot can start the engines is calculated. It saves millions of liters of fuel just waiting a few minutes. There is a digital display facing the pilot showing him when he can depart. Even which size aircraft are allowed to depart. It's extremely well organized.
