The Flick -- A term used by air traffic controllers to describe a mental model representing the current and future positions of air traffic in a section of airspace. Controllers visualize the paths of multiple aircraft in terms of position, altitude, trajectory and speed. Controllers also refer to this as "having the picture." But the picture moves -- like a movie -- hence the term “the flick.”

Stay Tuned
I went to Florida and caught a nasty cold. Go figure. Anyway, I haven’t died (yet) and I’m sure I’ll work up the energy to post something soon -- now that I’m back home.
In the mean time, have a Happy New Year and say goodbye to The Big Zero. I hope the next decade is a better one for you, your loved ones and our country.
Thanks for reading.
