ETA Calculator

Compute the estimated time of arrival from a departure clock time and flight duration.

Description

Compute the estimated time of arrival from a departure clock time and flight duration.

ETA Calculator: Compute the estimated time of arrival from a departure clock time and flight duration.

When to use ETA

Use this calculator for flight-planning study or a first-pass cross-check when all inputs describe the same aircraft, atmospheric condition, and phase of flight.

Departure
Departure time of day in HH:MM format.
Flight time (h)
Flight time in hours; may cross midnight.

How ETA works

Compute the estimated time of arrival from a departure clock time and flight duration. The tool evaluates the supplied inputs together and returns the named outputs below; it does not infer omitted operating conditions or change the units shown.1

ETA
Arrival time of day in HH:MM format, wrapping past midnight.
Day offset
Whole days added by the flight, zero for same-day arrivals.

Limitations and assumptions

  • Do not use a generic calculator in place of the current aircraft flight manual, approved performance data, operating limitations, NOTAMs, weather, or regulations. Real performance changes with configuration, runway condition, altitude, temperature, wind, loading, and technique.
  • Use finite inputs in the displayed units and preserve more precision than the final presentation requires. Independently verify safety-critical, financial, compliance, or production decisions.

Alternative or Complementary approaches

Cross-check the result against the aircraft flight manual or approved planning system, then apply the required safety margins. Keep signed wind, heading, altitude, speed, and fuel conventions explicit.
