Unfrozen
The Scheduled
Time of Arrival (STA) tags, which are still being rescheduled by
traffic management advisor (TMA) calculations. The aircraft will
remain unfrozen until the time the corresponding estimated time of
arrival (ETA) tag passes the preset freeze horizon for that
aircraft's stream class. At this point the automatic rescheduling
will stop, and the STA becomes "frozen."
