Flight Progress Strips
or Flightstrips (FPS)
are the primary visual aid used by an Air Traffic Controller to separate
and sequence aircraft. Each Flightstrip carries all the information
a controller needs to know about a flight, and as instructions and
information is given to the pilot, these are also recorded on the
Flightstrip Paper. These Flightstrip papers have been in use for many
years - they are simple, easy to use, and not susceptible to computer
or power failure. Flightstrips contain only the necessary data to
handle the flight, Aircraft ID Type Aircraft Beacon Code Proposed
Time Requested Altitude Route of Flight, they do not contain complete
flight plan information. Go to our Flightstrips
page for more details
