COMAND as its basis. For this reason, the
time on COMAND must be set correctly
(Y page 93). The calculation of the
estimated time of arrival does not
specifically take into consideration
whether it is daylight saving time or
standard time at the destination. It is not
taken into consideration whether or not the
destination is in a different time zone. The
distance to the destination, the estimated
