The OT time estimates are sensitivity driven, but it is not always the case that the scientific goals require that a particular sensitivity be achieved. For example, the time required for flux monitoring is usually based on getting enough samples of the source variability pattern, not that a particular sensitivity be achieved over this time. The approved procedure in this case is to enter the sensitivity required per sample and then to select the ``Does your setup need more time...'' button. This will indicate to the proposal assessors that the time stated by the OT is not accurate and that a description and justification of the actual time required can be found in the attached science and technical case. Note that this function should not be required to ask for additional time due to
coverage issues, in contrast to the case at Cycle 0. With 32 antennas, it is expected that even the snapshot
coverage will be able to produce sufficient image fidelity.
Similarly, flux monitoring often requires that multiple epochs be observed or that the observations be coordinated with those at another observatory. In order to capture this information, the OT has a textbox as well as a calendar tool for entering the dates. If this option is selected, it should also be fully justified in the attached science case.
