LONDON AREA & TERMINAL CONTROL CENTRE
The larger of the two UK air traffic control centres is at West Drayton, a few miles north of Heathrow.
Control of the London Flight Information Region (FIR) sectors takes place from the Operation Room. The centre provides a continuous service with five shifts with a total of more than 400 air traffic control officers and 200 assistants. More than 3,500 flights are handled by West Drayton every day.
For every flight using controlled airspace, a flight plan will be filed giving details of the flight. The information is held in the computer before the flight enters the London control area, when a ‘Flight Progress Strip’ is printed. This provides the controllers with details of the flight on a thin cardboard strip, mounted on a plastic holder. Strips of various colours are used to give rapid identification of flights of different direction.
As each flight comes within the jurisdiction of a particular sector team, the flight progress strip is marked to indicate the various instructions passed to the pilot. The controller or assistant dealing with the flight marks the strip as the words are being spoken so that the possibility of mistakes is reduced to minimum.
