Examples of Calculating Time for Sending Messages

Example 1

The flight is carried out along the route LED-FRA 01.02.2021, departure time from LED is 10:00.

A configuration for the country of origin has been created: Russia, time of message sending: 6 hours in the absolute value.

Thus, the list will be sent on 01.02.2021 at 06:00 according to the time of the LED point of origin.

Example 2

The flight is carried out en-route FRA – DME on 01.02.2021, the time of departure from FRA 15:00. A configuration for the country of origin has been created: Germany, time of message sending: 1 day 10 hours in the relative value.

Thus, the list will be sent in 1 day and 10 hours before departure of the flight from FRA, that is on 31.01.2021 at 5:00 according to the FRA point of origin time, which corresponds to 07:00 (MSK).

Manual Sending of PNRGOV

In addition to automatic sending, the list can be sent manually from the inventory screen of the flight (Actions → Send APIS).
