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.”

ERAM Escapades Continue
I never get tired of the internet. I heard about a new ATC blog this morning with good information on ERAM. I’m trying to leave town. Now you have something to read. Go read.

I’ll keep pushing for more reports about the ongoing ERAM tests.
