Everywhere I worked we used single color (light green) strips using black and, sometimes, red ink. The distinction between them came from how the data was presented on them. Departure strips had the time prefixed with the letter “P” and contained the departure airport and the filed route of flight. Arrival strips had the prefix “A” associated with the time and only the destination airport in the route area. Overtraffic used the time prefix “E” and the route information was limited to the origin, destination and the pertinent portions for our facility. Given the way the information was placed on them, they were relatively easily differentiated despite their all being the same color. Sorry… I don’t have any pictures.

As far as procedures… I’m not sure if you are speaking only of tower operations or if any of your ACC functions are located in the cab… In all of the towers where I worked, the operational positions were clearance delivery, ground control and local control (tower).

Ground control would sequence the departure strips as the aircraft taxied out, the place the strips in the local controller’s bay according to the taxi sequence and the assigned departure runway.

Arrival strips were not used in the tower. Information on inbound aircraft was relayed verbally or via the radar display(s). Both local control and ground control would keep track of inbound aircraft by using a pad of paper and a pen.

You asked about the name of a strip printer producer… give this a try:

For more ideas, you can search Google Images for “terminal flight progress strips”.

Good Luck!

Thank you, Bob!
Your clues are very helpful . I need only for the TWR operations. The ACC has others rules as maybe you allready know!
I am grateful for your answer!
