  For pump-probe and seeding experiments at free electron lasers, a femtosecond precise bunch arrival time stability is mandatory. To stabilize the arrival times a fast longitudinal intra bunch-train feedback (L-IBFB) using bunch arrival time monitors is applied. The electron bunch energy prior to a bunch compression chicane is modulated by superconducting radio frequency (SRF) cavities to compensate fast arrival time fluctuations of the subsequent bunches. A broadband normal conducting RF cavity was installed in front of the first bunch compression chicane at FLASH. The L-IBFB uses the normal conducting cavity for small but fast energy corrections together with the SRF cavities for larger and slower corrections. Current measurements show arrival time stabilities of the electron bunches towards 5 fs (rms) at the end of the linac, if the normal conducting cavity acts together with the SRF cavities in the L-IBFB system.
