1 Introduction
The Electronic Flight Strip (EFS) is one component of the ATM Aircon system. Its aim is to support a work environment that allows the controller to observe and manage the Flight Plans involved with the Aerodrome. This environment is an electronic recreation of the controller classical desk and paper flight strips. Besides this, the EFS System is integrated with the subsystems that manage Flight Plans, Gates Assignments, Radar Data, Aerodrome Status Information, Meteorological Messages so that, all the information affecting a certain flight is easily reachable by the controller.
1.1
Organization of this Manual
The EFS Operational Manual provides instructions on EFS menus and windows operating. The manual consists of four chapters as described below: Chapter 1 Introduction It provides an overview of the EFS operations, the contents of this manual and the ICW with its environment. Chapter 2 Getting Started It provides a presentation for each EFS software element; with all the descriptions for a complete starting contact.

2.2
Electronic Flight Strips Description
The Electronic Flight Strip comes to substitute the classic Printed Flight Strip typically used at control centers. However, a backup Paper Flight Data printing capability is provided in case of the EFS functionality becoming unavailable in the system. The EFS contains information about a flights progress and current status. The strips are displayed on the specific working positions to communicate the flight information to the responsible controllers. Each EFS presents the information in pre-defined fields. There are two types of EFS as described in the following table: Table 2-2: Flight Strip Types
Type of Flight Strip Arrival Strip Departure Strip Description Arrival flight strips contains all flight plan data for an individual flight. Background Colour Light yellow
Departure flight strips contains all flight plan data for an individual flight. Light blue
2.2.1 Departure Electronic Strip Fields Description

All the fields defined in the Departure Flight Strip are shown in Figure 2-2. Most of them provide a pull down menu of pre-defined options upon LEFT button clicking. Following items included in this section, describe all the fields.

EFS Screen and Windows Description
2.3.1 EFS Windows Description

The EFS Windows provide an environment for the EFS creation, cancellation, handling, and other functions typical in a Tower Control. There are three different types of windows displaying Electronic Flight Strips: Delivery Strips Window, Ground Strips Window and Tower Strips Window. The EFS Windows are opened from the EFS button displayed on the FDD. Each EFS Window can be divided into several working zones, separated by separation lines. Each EFS Windows displays a horizontal icon row (up, right under the title bar), which contains the Command Icons. The performance associated to each icon is fully described in further items of this section. Electronic Flight Strip roles can be adjusted in Tower Sectorization option in CMD position, allowing to group the roles (Delivery, Ground and Tower) in one or more positions (see CMD User Manual for details).

2.3.1.1 General Working Rules for EFS Windows

Each operation and control procedure working with the EFS Windows is subject to the following points:
Page 2-21
DOCUMENT N: 0029200000000MA05
MOVING EFSs
An EFS is displayed in a working zone either manually (manual EFS generation or handed over action) or automatically (moved by the system from an EFS list). When generated, an EFS is placed at the top of the working zone, above the separation lines. The new EFS is placed on top of the already existing EFSs. Exception is made: when clearing an EFS for take off while another already exists with Line up and Hold status. The new EFS is placed below the existing one in Line up and Hold. Dragging Strips is possible by left button pressing and hold, with the mouses pointer on the Call Sign field of the EFS. A dragging action creates an elastic vector following the cursor movement while button is pressed, shown in Figure 2-37. It is possible to drag strips: Within a working zone. From present working zone to next one (or to previous one). This operational step may also be achieved by clicking on the involved separation line or by clicking on the Clearance field (moves the EFS below the Runway line). An EFS may be dragged back over separation line. The displayed symbols and FP information are updated according to the new EFS location.
DRAG STRIPS
MOVEMENT OF It is possible for the operator to move the separation lines inside the corresponding SEPARATION LINES EFS Window, to increase or decrease a working zone according to traffic demands. This is performed by clicking on the diamond symbol displayed on the left side of the separation line and dragging the line until the desired position. While performing this action, the diamond-symbol color changes to RED. The diamond symbol displayed on the left end of the separation as shown in Figure 2-37 is used for this purpose. When there are more flight strips to be displayed in a working zone than can be displayed, the top/ bottom half of the symbol on the separation line turns RED. The RED color indicates that the working zone above or below the line, respectively, is overflow. MANAGEMENT ADDITIONAL WINDOWS OF Additional Windows are included in each position. They can be opened and closed from icons situated in the bottom right hand corner of each position. Additional windows include: CLD: Delivery pending window; ARR: Tower pending window; GND: Ground pending window; BIN: Deleted strips window; DE-ICE: De-ice strips window.

DOCUMENT N: 0029200000000MA05
Figure 3-15: Closing a Runway The runway status change, closing and reopening, are subjected to these rules: 1. The icons and lines color changes are carried out at the ICW controlling the corresponding runway. 2. Each outbound EFS allocated for taking off on the closed runway is displayed with a large RED X in the Clearance Field. The RED X is displayed and combined with other symbols previously presented, except the line up and hold, which is removed. 3. Each inbound EFS allocated to that runway also has the RED X in the Clearance Field. 4. It is possible to move outbound EFS across the RUNWAY LINE although the runway is closed. In this case, the RED X is not deleted from the Clearance Field until the runway is opened again.
DOCUMENT N: 0029200000000MA05
5. It is possible to open or close a runway from any ICW. 6. A second click on the Runway Icon opens the runway again. The icon and runway lines turn GREEN again, and the RED X symbol is deleted from each EFS, reappearing any symbol existing right before runway closing.

Departure Flight Control Procedures
3.8.1 Clearance Delivery Procedure

This is the basic operation assigned to the CLD position. The Clearance Delivery operation follows these steps (see Figure 3-16): 1. The Flight Plan data are displayed at the CLD Pending List a certain VSP time before EOBT or CTOT, if the EOBT/CTOT exist. 2. When the pilot is requesting Clearance, the controller activates the FP by clicking, with the LEFT button, on the ACT field of the corresponding line in the CLD Pending List. Then, an active EFS (white) is generated in the Active Working Zone, above the TAXI LINE as an expanded EFS and the SSR Code is also allocated.
3.8.1.1 Change to Taxi state

It can be done by dragging the EFS across the TAXI line, or performing a handover action.

3.8.2 Control of Departure Aircraft in Taxi state 3.8.2.1 Flights requesting De-ice
The EFS can be marked as De-ice during the Taxi phase or in the previous phase. The De-ice marking is performed by dragging the strip and dropping in [D-I] button. The strip is moved to DeIce list.
3.8.2.2 Flights requested to take off from an intersection point

The same operation as described in the above figure. The intersection point is chosen from the pull down menu from the Taxiway field.
Page 3-11
DOCUMENT N: 0029200000000MA05
Default point can be selected; as well as a manually selected point through a text field, selecting free- option. NOTE: Predefined points marked with * are De-Ice points.
Figure 3-17: Taxi-To procedure
3.8.2.3 Change to Line up and Hold state

The change to Line up and Hold is performed by dragging the EFS across the RUNWAY LINE or directly clicking on this line. The EFS nearest above the runway line is the one to move if clicking on the line. A Line up and Hold symbol, RED =, is displayed at the Clearance Box in that moment.
3.8.2.4 Change to Take off state

The TWR controller can deliver clearance for Take off directly from Taxi status by clicking on the Clearance Field of the EFS. The EFS is, then, automatically moved across the Runway line, and a GREEN up arrow is displayed on the Clearance Field. If the EFS is in Line up and Hold status, the change to Take off status is done by clicking on the Clearance Field. Any EFS cleared for take off coming from the taxi phase is displayed below all the EFSs in Line up and Hold status.
3.8.2.5 Putting an Aircraft back to Taxi state

In order to change an aircraft back to Taxi status, its EFS is dragged upwards across the RUNWAY LINE. This action causes any symbol displayed in the Clearance field to be deleted.
3.8.2.6 Putting a Cleared for Take off Aircraft back to Line up and Hold status
A new click on the Clearance field is understood as a Cancel Take off action and restores the RED =. This action is not allowed if the ATD has already been inserted either manually or automatically.
3.8.2.7 Transition to Departure state

Once the Radar has detected the aircraft, the flight is considered airborne. In that moment, the ATD is inserted automatically in the Time field and displayed in GREEN background color, substituting the EOBT or CTOT. Besides this, it is possible to insert ATD manually.
3.8.3 Modifications of an Departure EFS for an Ad-hoc Clearance

Controllers are allowed to propose changes in a Departure EFS relative to: SID Level SID and Level
DOCUMENT N: 0029200000000MA05
Heading and Level Runway Time (Whenever the flight is in Take-off or further states) The above mentioned changes can be performed as described in the following items. Changes are subject to these rules: 1. The controller is allowed to change the Level without changing the Heading but a change in Heading must be accompanied with a change in the Level. This action is functionally carried out by pull down menus. 2. A change in Heading and Level replaces the existing SID.
3.8.3.1 Changing SID

Clicking on the SID field of the Departure EFS, a pull down menu is displayed listing all the available SIDs for allocated runway. This is shown in below figure:
Figure 3-18: SID Pull Down Menu
3.8.3.2 Changing Level

The controller is allowed to specify a non-standard climb out through the pop-up menu available by clicking on the GATE/RECLEARANCE field. This menu is shown in following figure:
Page 3-13
DOCUMENT N: 0029200000000MA05
Figure 3-19: Reclearance Pop-up Menu This menu is divided into three different submenus: SID, HEADING, and LEVEL. To close this menu without selecting a value, click on the title bar of any of the different submenus SID, HEADING or LEVEL.
3.8.3.3 Changing SID and Level

If a change in both values is desired, click on the Gate/Reclearance field and choose both of them from the pop-up menu shown in former figure.
3.8.3.4 Changing Heading and Level

It can be performed from the same pop-up menu as the former operation. The new heading is displayed on the SID field (instead of the SID previously displayed), and the new level is displayed on the Gate field.
3.8.3.5 Changing Runway

It can be performed by clicking on the Runway field and select a new runway from the pull down menu. Changing the Runway causes an automatic change of the SID.
Figure 3-20: Runway Pop-up Menu
3.8.3.6 Changing Times

This change can be manually performed, to enter different time values for first fields in extended strip first line. Each time is entered once, by LB clicking in TIMES field; after each acceptance, its background changes. Next LB click in TIMES field will be for setting the next time value. The Times to be set in this field, in the correct order: Start Time (background in WHITE); Push Back Time (background in LIGHT GREEN);

Tower Flights Control Procedures
3.9.1 Pending EFS State

The EFS in Pending EFS state is displayed in the Tower pending list: 1. Flights will automatically be displayed a VSP time before the Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA).
DOCUMENT N: 0029200000000MA05
2. A flight may be manually moved from Tower Pending List to Radio Contact Zone by clicking with the LEFT mouse button on the ACT field.
Figure 3-24: Tower EFS Window
3.9.1.1 Cleared to Land State

The zone under the RUNWAY is named in this manual as Clear to Land working zone. When giving Clear to Land to the aircraft, the Tower controller can move the EFS in three different ways to enter the Clear to Land state: Dragging the EFS across RUNWAY LINE. Clicking on RUNWAY LINE, moves the closest EFS above the line. Clicking on EFS Clearance Box.
Page 3-16
DOCUMENT N: 0029200000000MA05
Any of the former commands causes the EFS to be displayed below the RUNWAY LINE and a GREEN down arrow is displayed on the Clearance field.
3.9.2 Landing Aircraft Control

This includes all control procedures from clearance to land until the flight is terminated at gate. During this phase, the following commands are available: Go Around, Manual ATA. General control commands are however available for this phase: Dragging EFSs, C/S Highlighting.
3.9.2.1 Missed Approach: Go Around Command

If an arrival flight is executing a Missed Approach, this is processed by pressing the RIGHT mouse button on the Clearance field. This input will initiate the following action: 1. A RED up arrow substitutes the previous GREEN down arrow in Clearance field.
Figure 3-25: Symbol change in Clearance field 2. STAR and GATE information will be replaced by MIS and IFR key words, both in black characters. 3. If an IFR clearance is required, new Heading and Level can be entered from the pop-up menu available upon click on the GATE field. New data entered are displayed in YELLOW. The new heading will be displayed in the STAR field and the new level in the Gate field. 4. New landing attempt can be started putting the EFS back to Radio Contact Zone, simply by dragging the EFS upwards across the RUNWAY LINE. With this action, the RED arrow is deleted leaving the Clearance field blank. However, MIS and IFR (or the new Heading and Level, if entered), are not removed. 5. Ready to land again, the operation follows as usual. Drag the strip downward across the RUNWAY LINE to put it to Clear to Land Zone. The original STAR and GATE information is restored in the corresponding fields.

DOCUMENT N: 0029200000000MA05
3.9.2.2 Arrived State

When ATA is automatically displayed in the Time field based on Radar detection, the flight is changed to Arrived state. The ATA is displayed in GREEN background color and the previous GREEN down arrow is cleared from the Clearance field. It is also possible to enter the ATA manually through the pop-up menu available by clicking on the Time field. It is possible for the controller to indicate the exit of the arrived flight through any exit way. This action is performed by choosing one of the available intersection points of the pull down menu associated to the Taxiway field. Taxi State When the EFS is moved downwards, across the TAXI LINE, it is entering the Taxi state.
3.10 Flight Plan Handover functions (intra Tower)

This section provides a description of each FP handover process that can be carried out between controllers by means of the EFS system. Available commands for this function are: Quick Handover Vertical Line These Handover procedures are fully described in following subsections. This terminology is used, with the enclosed meanings: Giving controller: is the operator controlling the flight. His/her ICW is currently displaying the EFS associated to the flight pretended for handing over. Receiving controller: is the controller taking over the responsibility for the flight. Once the handover process is completed, his/her ICW displays the transferred EFS. The Quick Handover procedure does not require coordination between the giving and receiving controller. In this case, no action is required nor allowed by the receiving controller to accept or reject the handover. However, the Vertical Line procedure requires coordination between the giving and receiving controllers. The Obstruction Symbols can be transferred between the controllers in the same manner.
3.10.1 Quick Handover

For this procedure, the giving controller has to drag the EFS to the icon associated with the desired receiving controller. No acceptance from receiving controller needs to be given. The handed over EFS is deleted from the giving controller screen, and displayed at the receiving controller. NOTE: For an Arrival EFS above the Runway line and for a Departure EFS below the Runway line, when the controller initiates a Quick Handover, it will be treated as a Vertical Line Handover. That is, after initiation (clicking with the LEFT mouse button on the Call Sign and dragging to the receiving controller icon): Vertical Line appears to the left of the Call Sign on the EFS. The Vertical Line appears on both giving and receiving controllers displays. The receiving controller needs to acknowledge the handover.
Page 3-18
DOCUMENT N: 0029200000000MA05
Figure 3-27: Quick Handover
3.10.2 Vertical line

This Handover mode is only possible if the working zone, from where the giving controller is initiating the handover, is also an available zone for the role where the EFS must be transferred.
Page 3-19
DOCUMENT N: 0029200000000MA05
This procedure requires acceptance, from receiving controller. It is started by the giving controller, clicking on the desired receiving controller icon, and moving the elastic vector to the Call Sign field of the EFS to be handed over.
Figure 3-28: Handover process (Vertical line - Start)
Page 3-20
DOCUMENT N: 0029200000000MA05
A colored sensitive Vertical Line is generated on the left of the Call Sign. An identical EFS is displayed at the same working zone, on the receiving controllers screen. This duplicate EFS is shaded and has the same Vertical line in the Call Sign field.
Figure 3-29: Handover process (Vertical line)
Page 3-21
DOCUMENT N: 0029200000000MA05
The receiving controller can accept the transference by LEFT button clicking on the line. This action successfully completes the handover process. Shading and the vertical line are cleared and EFS is deleted from giving screen. When the EFS is presented in both controller positions, the handover process is able to be cancelled, by either the Giving or Receiving controller, by clicking with the RIGHT button on the sensitive vertical line. Doing this operation the shaded EFS is removed from the Receiving controller screen and the vertical line from the EFS on the Giving controller screen.
