Multiple Choice

Aircraft assigned an EDCT should depart as close as possible to the EDCT but no earlier than ___ minutes before and no later than ___ minutes after the EDCT.

Explanation:
The timing concept being tested is the tight, predictable departure spacing around an EDCT. An aircraft should aim to depart as close to the EDCT as possible, but you may not depart more than five minutes before the EDCT and may not depart more than five minutes after it. Keeping this +/- five-minute window helps maintain orderly flow, prevents early departures that can disrupt sequencing, and avoids cascading delays for subsequent departures and arrivals. Departing outside that window would either crowd the system or waste capacity.
