Delta Whiskey, thanks, that is the first positive comment I've seen on electronic strips. Sounds like that would cater for our free calling traffic OK.

You sound like you are happy with your system. Is it intuitive to use? Keyboard/Mouse/etc?

Do you do the same amount of "strip marking" as you did with paper?

In our approach setting we as a matter of course would mark the strip with the following:
R - radar identified (followed by a / when transferred to director)
I/V/SRA etc - type of approach
Runway
Q when QNH passed
levels (usually 70, 6A, 5A, 4A, 3A, 2.2 sometimes more steps)
VFR as required
RCS/RAS/RIS/FIS
headings (usually at least 3)
speeds (up to 4)

Is this similar to yours? What system do you use?
Does the display show old data (previous assigned headings/levels/speeds) etc or just the latest update?

Lots of questions I know, but no-one on the unit has seen any of the systems under consideration working.
