Flight progress strips

[kpnagidi]

Does anyone still remember or know where in ICAO publications is described how to fill in flight progress strips (old, physical, paper strips) ?

[middles]

(old, physical, reliable, uncomplicated, logical, paper strips) perchance?

There's a bit in PANS-ATM and the ATS Planning Manual - but nothing of any substance from what I recall.

[HEATHROW DIRECTOR]

The precise layout of, and information contained on, flight progress strips varies depending on the ATC unit and should be detailed in local instructions.

Probably in the latesr updates to the UK Manual of ATS, along with that other new innovation, Radio-Telephony

MATS Part 1 (http://www.caa.co.uk/application.aspx?catid=33&pagetype=65&appid=11&mode=detail&id=222)

Appendix D (End of document)
Pages 1-4

As far as I know these are just a general guide and will very from unit to unit

[HEATHROW DIRECTOR]

Lon..... the introduction of R/T was a boon. Doing Heathrow GMC using the old semaphore flags was a real pain.....

[Lon More]

semaphore flags!!!, we had to use our underpants

Day one of my "career" in ATC, putting out strips for one of the controllers in heathrow tower.....35 years later, I found myself acting as "support" for a fellow instructor at the college, putting out strips, during a continuation training run....the same bloke! I said " Bill (McColl), I was doing this for you 35 years ago" He said "things haven't improved much have they?"

[HEATHROW DIRECTOR]

Wow.. Bill was my first training officer at Heathrow in '72. Hope he's well..

Bill was an instructor on my Procedural Approach course, along with Geoff Wild, (summer 1980).
Jenks arrived a year later for the end of our Approach Radar course.
I think Bill had an aviation shop in the terminal at EGHH.
Great days.

[HEATHROW DIRECTOR]

Jenks and Wild. Two more loonies I had to endure!!! Great times.

Bill M. ... that's a name from the past! I remember his story regarding the 'old' metal strip-holders and a cigarette lighter :E

ICAO 9426

"Hot one for you, D". Worked every time :} I would have used an Oxy-acetylene burner on John Reynolds if I'd had the chance. :E

[chiglet]

[kpnagidi]

Thank you Foxbat01, finally a reply of some substance:D
