Fig 2-5: CRT DISPLAY (WITH FOUR FLIGHT PLANS)
NOTE: The number of messages displayed on the CRT at any one time may vary
due to the size of messages received.
2.3.3.1 Verify Function
The verify feature is a software function, invisible to the user, provided by the FDIO
software. Before a message is transmitted to the ARTCC host computer, the software
performs a limited check of the message format. If a flaw is found, the message is
rejected by FDIO instead of being transmitted to the ARTCC. An error message is
returned to the user allowing the flaw to be corrected, and the message is again checked
prior to transmission.
This feature can be toggled on and off by using the “VER” key. The status of this feature
is confirmed by the words “VERIFY” or “NON-VERIFY” being displayed on the lower
line in the composition area. Since nothing is gained by disabling this feature, it should
remain in use at all times. Using this feature will reduce workload for the ARTCC FDIO
system.
2.4 FLIGHT STRIP PRINTING
2.4.1 Site Adaptation
Flight strips are output from the ARTCC to specific FDIO CRTs and RFSPs based on
prescribed site adaptation parameters. Site adaptation requirements for each FDIO user
facility are determined by the ARTCC and are set into the ARTCC computer program.
