"Matthew S. Whiting" wrote in message ... I'm not a controller and haven't visited an ATC facility in probably 20 years. I didn't assume that manual flight strips were still in use, but knowing the gummint I should have figured that would still be the case. No, see above. I assumed that technology had progressed at least a tiny bit since I visited a tower in the late 70s. Obviously, a poor assumption. Yeah, paper strips have been with us a long time, but that doesn't mean they're obsolete. If all the flight data is on a screen and the computer goes down I lose all the flight data. If the flight data is printed on paper strips and the computer goes down I still have the flight data on paper strips.
