Strip
Strip Colours
Departure strips are blue, while arrival strips are yellow.
Strip Posting
You will only see strips for aircraft that have requested planned an ADES or ADEP of your aerodrome. Aircraft doing circuit work at your aerodrome, but not arriving or departing there will not have a strip.

Alerts
Non-standard Cruising Altitude
Indicates a pilot had filed a level that is non-compliant with the table of standard cruising levels per the Australian AIP.
Non-compliant Route Filed
Indicates a pilot has filed a route that is contrary to the list of routes in the Australian ERSA Flight Planning Requirements document.
It is at the controller's discretion whether or not the aircraft is recleared along a new route. Take into account possible workload and loss of strategic separation due to the non-compliant route, effect on TCU operations and ability of the pilot to reenter a new route.
Aircraft not Ready
An aircraft is in the Holding Point or Runway bay without reporting ready.
VFR Aircraft Issued a SID
A VFR aircraft has been issued a SID.
SID Transition Exists
This SID has a transition.
WorldFlight Team
This pilot is an official WorldFlight team. (Only visible during WorldFlight mode).
Incorrect SSR Code or Mode
An aircraft has commenced taxiing, without squawking Mode C and the correct code. (Exception exists for A388s, where they will only alert if not squawking the correct code).
HDG not Assigned to Radar SID
An aircraft departing on a RADAR SID does not have a heading issued, in the Holding Point or Runway Bay.
