| 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 |

Strip Holders or Flight Progress Strip Holders (FPSH)
carry the Flightstrip Papers. Some of our range of Flightstrip Holders
/ Flight Progress Strip Holders are listed on
Flightstrip Holder page. We have the most common variants available
but can design and produce specials and manufacture small batches
to order if required. These units are precision moulded from high
quality polypropylene, or equivalent, and are designed to accept the
rigours of continuous use in the Air Traffic Control environment.

ASFT Airport Runway
Friction Measuring Equipment
There is an operational need for reliable and uniform information
concerning the friction characteristics of runways. Contaminants
such as rubber deposits, dust particles, jet fuel, oil spillage,
water, snow, ice and slush all cause friction loss on runway pavement
surfaces.
Airport Surface Tester AB (ASFT AB) is the world's leading manufacturer
of Continuous Friction Measuring Equipment (CMFE).
ASFT Runway Friction measuring equipment has been approved by the
FAA and the ICAO and is currently in use at more than 200 airports
in Europe, Norh America, Asia and Australia. ASFT AB can supply
friction measuring equipment to meet the needs of any airport.
When the ASFT is used for operational measuring short reporting
time and reliable documentation are essential. With the optional
radio link (friction data transmitter) friction values can be transmitted
to the ATC/Runway Maintenance Department within a few seconds. The
data storing facilities and the software make the ASFT a valuable
tool for runway maintenance planning and budgeting.
