Contexto
A flight progress strip tells the controller everything needed to direct that aircraft. If the flight progress strips of each aircraft approaching a sector are arranged properly, it is possible to determine potential conflicts long before the aircraft are even visible on the Center controller’s display. In areas where radar coverage is not available, this is the sole means of separating aircraft.
