  • RTA required time of arrival
  • a function on many available flight management systems (FMS) on an aircraft provides the crew with the ability to enter a Required Time of Arrival (RTA) at a waypoint that is part of a given flight plan.
  • RTA Required Time of Arrival
  • the FMS adjusts the speed profile for the climb flight phase, cruise flight phase, and descent flight phase, as appropriate, in order to arrive at the waypoint within the prescribed RTA, thus improving the predictability of the aircraft.
