Those little slips with planes info on them...
« on: September 21, 2009, 08:30:59 PM »
Hey all,

I'm wondering, I saw a while ago that some air traffic controllers have a strip with plane's info on them, and they have this slanted board they put it on, what are those called and where can I get one?

Thanks!

The actual board?  I don't know if it has an actual name... I always called it a strip board.  I know I've seen people build these from scratch; I'm not sure you can buy them anywhere (but with the Flight Sim world the way it is I imagine someone sells them for a hefty price).

Otherwise the slip of paper is a flight strip (as posted above).  You can probably google it and find a bunch of topics about them, pictures, examples, etc.

Thanks all, I'm not so much interested in the strip more of the board they sit on. Aevins link is perfect, think I will try to make one from scratch. Thanks!

Center strips are different from tracon strips which I assume are different from tower strips.

I've never heard of tower strips. Just center and terminal...with towers and approaches using the terminal.

I haven't worked in a tower(I've been in both of the other options) and on visits to towers it seemed like they used odd looking strips.
