2. Trust & Verify Proposed Change (Trust & Verify) EDCT Times are revised by Air Carriers and Traffic Management for changing conditions en route or at affected airport (s). Terminal Controllers use of aircraft reported EDCT for departure sequencing should be verified with the ATCSCC or overlying TMU prior to departure if this can be accomplished without the aircraft incurring delay beyond the EDCT time reported by the aircraft. If the EDCT cannot be verified without incurring additional delay, the aircraft should be released based on the pilot reported EDCT. This time should be verified with the ATCSCC or overlying TMU after departure. If a discrepancy is discovered, it shall be passed to the ATCSCC for follow-up.
