Interpreting strips
Controllers write on flight strips for different audiences: themselves, each other and as a legal record. The location identifies the purpose, facilitating interpretation by controllers and, ultimately, computers.
 

Themselves:

The circle helps the controller quickly locate all flights landing at Paris's Orly airport (LFPO).

 

 

 

 

 

Legal record:

The last underlined flight level indicates the last authorized flight level.

 

 

Other controllers:

The "V" tells other controllers that the plane has been authorized to go directly to EPR without passing through CDN.
