Talk:Flight progress strip

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I've added to this article and done some major surgery. I hope the original authors are not offended. I've tried to generalise it somewhat also. As I'm involved in ATC in the UK, there is some possibility that I've used UK-only terms - please feel free to purge them if I have.BaseTurnComplete 21:24, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

The concern I have is that there's no mention of the use of flight strips in procedural IFR - e.g. in parts of the world where there's no radar. I'm especially thinking of the northern part of the Edmonton, Canada FIR, where there simply is no radar and many aircraft are not equipped with up-to-date equipment. I don't know how oceanic FIRs handle traffic these days either - I suspect they use a computerized setup, but 15 years ago it was all procedural with strips. Lots of fun. --Charlene.fic 01:46, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
