Hey there, If my flight's departure time is 1900ET, and I live in the Pacific timezone, do I have to do the flight at 1600 my time? Or how does DVA assess whether or not you made your departure time if it's a completely different timezone?

It doesn't matter what time you fly the flight at all. A 1900ET flight can be flown at 0400PT with no penalties.

First of all, Welcome to DVA! Second, it actually doesn't matter the flight time, I think the flight time its there for those who wants to be more realistic and use the actual departure time, you can actually do a flight at 6 pm at your home, but in the schedule says its at 9am. IE: lets say it 3pm, but you want to do Atlanta GA (ATL) to Allentown PA (ABE) wich departs at 20:35 ET and you can actually do that flight at 3pm, so no, you dont have to adjust to the schedule.

If I am wrong, please someone correct me.
Hope this helps you.

You can fly your desired flight at any time. The schedule emulates real world operations but it does not mean you have to actually fly a 7 PM EST flight at 1600 PM PST. Augusto and Nicolas are both correct. Welcome on board.
