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.”

Brilliant Blog
You know, I read the same story from Abilene and just gave it a pass. I should have known better. And I’ve seen how local people can reach out and touch national politicians first hand. But I didn’t think to write this blog. Fortunately, Praxis Foundation is on the job. If you’ve got any connection to the Abilene airport at all, make sure the city’s Director of Aviation sees this.
