Arrivals — Final and RWY ARR
Section titled “Arrivals — Final and RWY ARR”- Strips appear in Final; use ARR in the bay header to open the ARR dialogue if a strip is missing.
- Callsign opens the ARR dialogue; FORCE ASSUME assumes the strip and prioritises it.
- Click the arrival runway to move a strip from Final to RWY ARR. Runway colour reflects clearance state (green / red) based on other traffic in the bay.
- The strip moves to TWY ARR automatically when the aircraft leaves the runway area; manual moves are also available.
Departures — TWY DEP-TWR, RWY DEP, Airborne
Section titled “Departures — TWY DEP-TWR, RWY DEP, Airborne”- Click the departure runway to move a strip from TWY DEP-TWR to RWY DEP. Same green / red clearance logic applies.
- The strip moves to Airborne automatically when the aircraft is airborne; SI then targets the departure frequency.
- Manual move from RWY DEP to Airborne is possible; SI still drives the downstream handoff.
Control zone
Section titled “Control zone”Use New / Find in the bay header for VFR strips only. No transfers.
