  Free elec­tron laser fa­cil­i­ties, such as the Eu­ro­pean XFEL, make in­creas­ingly high de­mands on the longterm tem­po­ral sta­bil­ity and uni­for­mity of the elec­tron bunches, as pump-probe ex­per­i­ments mean­while aim for tim­ing sta­bil­i­ties of few fem­tosec­onds resid­ual jit­ter only. For a beam-based feed­back con­trol of the lin­ear ac­cel­er­a­tor, elec­tro-op­ti­cal bunch ar­rival-time mon­i­tors are de­ployed, achiev­ing a time res­o­lu­tion bet­ter than 3 fs. In a first at­tempt, we re­cently demon­strated a beam-based feed­back sys­tem, re­duc­ing the ar­rival time jit­ter of the elec­tron bunches to the 10 fs level with sta­ble op­er­a­tion over hours. For pump-probe ex­per­i­ments it is cru­cial to equally ver­ify this new level of pre­ci­sion in the FEL pulse ar­rival time with in­de­pen­dent meth­ods. In this work, we are dis­cussing first re­sults from ex­am­in­ing the fa­cil­ity-wide tem­po­ral sta­bil­ity at the Eu­ro­pean XFEL, with at­ten­tion to the con­tri­bu­tions of var­i­ous sub-sys­tems and on the dif­fer­ent time scales.
