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.”

A Joyful Noise
Hey! It’s one of the perks (for me, hazard for you) of a non-commercial blog. I can write about anything that strikes my fancy.
Long-time readers know I sing in a choir. I wish I sang in this choir. Cool.
Now, let’s see if I can get a decent picture this morning. It’s going to dip below freezing, any moment now, for the first time this year.
