REDUCED FLIGHT PROGRESS STRIPS IN EN ROUTE ATC MIXED ENVIRONMENTS

Currently, en route control of high altitude flights between airports uses computer-augmented radar information available on the Plan View Display (PVD), Computer Readout Device (CRD), and flight information printed on Flight Progress Strips (FPSs). The FPS contains 31 fields that supplement data available on the PVD. While an aircraft is in a controller's sector, control instructions, changes to the flight plan, and other contacts with the aircraft are written on the corresponding strip. This report describes an experiment that compared the effects of using standard sized FPS and an FPS reduced both in size and information on the performance and work load of the controller teams.
