Selected answer:time parked and idle
Explanation:
The 'stand' seems to be the parking lot, i.e. areas where aircraft are parked when idle, not unloading or loading passengers. So "ATA/time on-stand" would appear to be the interval from actual time of arrival until idle after unloading passengers.

Time at the gate


Explanation:
