Airlines Reporting Corporation (ARC) Specialist Training Practice Test

Eastern Time is used for the IAR sales report deadline. ARC standardizes deadlines in ET so everyone uses a single reference point, regardless of where you’re located. When you’re preparing the report, convert your local time to Eastern Time to determine the exact due moment, and remember that ET observes daylight saving time, so the offset to other zones (Central, Mountain, Pacific) remains consistent: ET is 1 hour ahead of Central, 2 hours ahead of Mountain, and 3 hours ahead of Pacific.
