Friday night flight times

Hey everyone, so I have have been meaning to participate in the FNF’s recently, but they have all been at horrible times for me. I am in EST time and the one tonight is at 2am for me. Are there ever any FNF’s before times like 0400 or 0300z? Thanks.

Hey! The FNF, as well as every day in the ATC Schedule, takes place between 0600Z on Thursday and 0600Z on Friday every week. 0600Z is 2:00am on the East Coast. So there’s a whole 24 hour window for you to fly in.

The FNFs are all day long, I’m sure there probably an hour or two that fits your day.

Since you’re in EST time, I think it lasts from 3am to 3am. You have the whole day!

Oh wow, i didn’t realize that. Thanks for letting me know. Are there usually many people in the server at all times during FNF?

Starting at around 0630Z, you’ll start to see a bunch of people. The traffic usually dies down around this time of day or earlier.

Speaking of arrivals, most long-haul flights arrive at around 16:30Z and short-hauls span the whole day.

Generally at noon (for the Americans) until around 5pm

@lucaviness @Claudio thanks, Now I know that I will actually be able to participate lol

Sure, glad to help! For future reference, all official events (with the tag #officialevent) include their time frame under “Event Specifics”. If you click the drop-down menu, you should see the time written in Zulu and your own time underneath that. Most other events include this too, but you can’t always count on it.
