Super Pen Replaces Paper estriP controls helsinki airPort’s air striPs Helsinki Airport’s air traffic control system is now one of the most up-to-date in the world, following a programme of modernisation this winter. An electronic flight strip system called (eSTrIP) allows the strips used for tracking aircraft to be controlled by touching a screen with a pen. The system replaces the old method based on paper flight progress strips. The electronic system makes air traffic control at the airport more effective and flexible. The eSTrIPs are an aid in controlling air traffic, taxi clearance and vehicle traffic. air traffic controller Sami Niemi was interviewed for this article. sami was a member of the air traffic control modernisation team. Pilots always need permission from air traffic control before they can proceed along a taxiway or runway. route clearances can be sent from the eSTrIP system digitally straight to the flight deck of an aircraft. So by manoeuvring the electronic strips on a monitor screen and by writing notes in them, air traffic controllers can ensure, for example, that no two aeroplanes are on the runway at the same time. Airport vehicles are equipped with radio transmitters and Global Positioning Systems which provide air traffic control with real-time updates on their movements. Air- field surveillance (surface movement) radar also allows the eSTrIP system to be integrated with airfield light- ing control. In future it will be possible to control light- ing via the eSTrIP system automatically. The innovations are an attempt to re- spond to future growth in air traffic and to improve traffic safety. Several electronic air traffic control development projects are underway around the world, though for the time being such highly automated systems as this are still rare. V I A HELSINKI 33
