	Flight progress strip - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A flight progress strip is a small strip of paper used to track a flight in air traffic control.
		The strip is mounted in a plastic boot called a 'strip holder' and placed with other strips in a 'strip board' which is then used as a representation of all flights in a particular sector of airspace or on an airport.
		The position of the strip in the board is a significant part of the information of the strip board: approach and area controllers often keep their strips in level (altitude) order and each bay might represent a geographical position, whereas tower controllers use the bays to represent the ground, the runway and the air.

	ATCMonitor.com - Introduction to the Air Traffic Control System
		Each flight plan has certain information contained that gives the controllers an idea of the type of equipment that is onboard the aircraft, along with how many passengers are on board, and the route the pilots intend to fly in order to arrive at the final destination.
		Figure 2: Flight plan from Atlanta, GA to Los Angeles, CA Most of the items on the flight plan are fairly self explanatory, such as the aircraft identification, aircraft type, airspeed en-route, and cruising altitude and so on.
		A flight progress strip is automatically printed to keep a physical recording of the aircraft in front of the controller's eyes.

	ATC - How It Works
		Here we'll follow a flight from departure to arrival, looking at the various controllers involved, what each one does, the equipment they use and how they are trained.
		The flight progress strip contains all of the necessary data for tracking your plane during its flight and is constantly being updated with new information as this becomes available.
		The path of your plane may have to be changed from the original flight plan to move around bad weather or avoid a congested sector.

		En Route: When flight plans are filed directly with the center, record all items given by the pilot either on a flight progress strip / flight data entry or on a voice recorder.
		When a flight plan is manually entered into the computer and a computer-assigned beacon code has been forwarded with the flight plan data, insert the beacon code in the appropriate field as part of the input message.
		The route of flight beyond the first point of exit from the originating center's area consists of 10 or more elements, which are primarily fixes described in fix-radial-distance or latitude/longitude format, regardless of the number of other center areas entered.

		We'll follow a flight from departure to arrival, looking at the various controllers involved, what each one does, the equipment they use and how they are trained.
		The computer generates a flight progress strip that will be passed from controller to controller throughout your flight.
		Once the flight plan has been approved, the flight data person gives clearance to your pilot (clearance delivery) and passes the strip to the ground controller in the tower.

	VRC - Virtual Radar Client for VATSIM Controllers
		Different controllers in different regions use flight strips in very different ways, but the core concept is always the same: flight strips are used as a visual aid for the organization of your airspace and the efficient handling of aircraft.
		When a strip is added to the bay, most of the data fields on the strip are automatically filled in by VRC, and it is automatically given an appropriate color based on your color selections.
		As you move the strip, a blue line will be drawn in the strip bay at the point where the strip will be placed when you release the mouse button.

		It was standard practice at Zagreb ACC for a Flight Progress Strip to be prepared for every sector that an aircraft intends to pass through.
		This in itself was of no major consequence, the lower sector controller would have taken the flight strip from his rack and handed it over to either Erjavec or Pelin (sitting at the next console), at a point prior to instructing JP550 to contact the middle sector.
		The fact that no flight progress strip for JP550 had been prepared for the middle sector could have influenced the sequence of events on the way DC-9 was handled by the controllers of that sector.

	AirDisaster.Com: Special Report: British Airways Flight 476
		In 1973, a modern radar flight control system was installed, but had teething problems, and three years later was still being used only as back-up.
		BE476 was cruising at flight level 330 with a true airspeed of 480kt, though a tailwind pushed it to a groundspeed of 489kt.
		This was the second mistake, for though the radar was programmed to show the flight label of any aircraft crossing into the upper section while transmitting a middle section code, the "standby" squawk would not register in the upper console.

	Aircraft Procedure
		When flying under instrument flight rules—procedures governing the operation of the aircraft when there is poor visibility—the pilot in command, or the airline dispatcher, normally files an instrument flight plan with air traffic control so that the flight can be coordinated with other air traffic.
		Airplane pilots, with the assistance of autopilot and the flight management computer, steer the plane along their planned route and are monitored by the air traffic control stations they pass along the way.
		The controller checks the flight strip, and clarifies the routing and any changes to the routing with the pilot, so both pilot and Air Traffic Control know the exact route the pilot will fly.

	Air traffic control Summary
		If aircraft were to choose their flight plan without using airways, the preferred route would be a direct route from departure to destination; separation would be automatic.
		When controllers are responsible for separating some or all aircraft, such airspace is called "controlled airspace" in contrast to "uncontrolled airspace." Depending on the type of flight and the class of airspace, ATC may issue instructions that pilots are required to follow, or merely advisories to assist pilots operating in the airspace.
		For scheduled flights, military flights, and some other flights, the operators obtain permission to use an airline call sign followed by a flight number, instead of a registration number.

		The local controller would clear an airplane for takeoff and then put the flight progress strip in this long tube that would deliver the strip to the sector in the radar room that would be following the airplane.
		They wanted to come in as a flight, and then one of them wanted a full stop, one wanted to stay in the traffic pattern, another wanted to do an ILS approach and the last one wanted to go north of the field for a VOR approach.
		There was screaming and hollering that lasted for about five minutes, until the radar room coordinators took the flight strips from each controller's bay and swapped them without saying a word.

	Xavius Software - manual for ATCC v1.0
		All flight plan information, including type of aircraft, route of flight, current and assigned altitudes and speeds, are accessibile through the computer terminal at your console, and are displayed both on the scope and on flight strips delivered to your sector.
		The more practical use of the strip, though, is to indicate the route of flight of the aircraft, the type of aircraft, and the requested cruising altitude which may be "covered up" in the datablock by a temporary altitude.
		Aircraft flights are divided into arrivals, which are in the process of descending for landing, or will start their descent soon; departures, which are in the process of climbing to their requested cruising altitude; and overflights, which are already at their cruising altitude and mostly just need to be left alone.

		These pilots are not required by the FAA to file flight plans and, except for FSS and local towers, are not serviced by the mainstream air traffic control system.
		This has put excessive pressure on the air traffic control system to handle the nearly 50,000 flights per day, a number projected to increase in the near future.
		To handle these flights and avoid delays and collisions, the FAA and NASA have developed modern software, upgraded existing host computers and voice communications systems and instituted full-scale GPS (global positioning system) capabilities to help air traffic controllers track and communicate with aircraft.
