AcListant®-Strips Validation Results of Main Trials

Kurzfassung

Air traffic controllers normally manage all aircraft information with flight strips. These strips contain static information about each flight such as call sign, weight category, destination, and route. Additionally, all clearances regarding altitude, speed, and course (heading or waypoints) are noted by the controller. Historically paper flight strips were in operation, but modern controller working positions already use electronic flight strips or electronic aircraft labels. However, independent from the approach, considerable controller effort is needed to manually maintain strip information consistent with the commands given to the aircraft. The information is either written down with a ball pen respectively an electronic pen or via mouse input.
