8.
Departure airport.
8A.
OPTIONAL USE.
8B.
OPTIONAL USE , when voice recorders are operational;
REQUIRED USE, when the voice recorders are not operating and strips are being used at the facility. This space is used to record reported RA events when the voice recorders are not operational and strips are being used at the facility. The letters RA followed by a climb or descent arrow (if the climb or descent action is reported) and the time (hhmm) the event is reported.
9.
Computer-generated: Route, destination, and remarks. Manually enter altitude/altitude restrictions in the order flown, if appropriate, and remarks.
9.
Hand-prepared: Clearance limit, route, altitude/altitude restrictions in the order flown, if appropriate, and remarks.
NOTE-
Altitude information may be written in thousands of feet provided the procedure is authorized by the facility manager, and is defined in a facility directive, i.e., FL 230 as 23, 5,000 feet as 5, and 2,800 as 2.8.
9A.
OPTIONAL USE.
9B.
OPTIONAL USE.
9C.
OPTIONAL USE.
10-18.
Enter data as specified by a facility directive. Items, such as departure time, runway used for takeoff, check marks to indicate information forwarded or relayed, may be entered in these spaces.
Overflights: Information recorded on the flight progress strips (FAA Forms 7230-7.1, 7230-7.2, and 7230-8) must be entered in the correspondingly numbered spaces. Facility managers can authorize omissions and/or optional use of spaces 2A, 8A, 8B, 9A, 9B, 9C, and 10-18, if no misunderstanding will result.

2.
Revision number (FDIO locations only).

OPTIONAL USE.
8B.
OPTIONAL USE, when voice recorders are operational;
REQUIRED USE , when the voice recorders are not operating and strips are being used at the facility. This space is used to record reported RA events when the voice recorders are not operational and strips are being used at the facility.

9.
Altitude and route of flight through the terminal area.
NOTE-
Altitude information may be written in thousands of feet provided the procedure is authorized by the facility manager, and is defined in a facility directive, i.e., FL 230 as 23, 5,000 feet as 5, and 2,800 as 2.8.

9B.
OPTIONAL USE.

OPTIONAL USE.
10-18.
Enter data as specified by a facility directive.
NOTE-
National standardization of items (10 through 18) is not practical because of regional and local variations in operating methods; e.g., single fix, multiple fix, radar, tower en route control, etc.
Air traffic managers at automated terminal radar facilities may waive the requirement to use flight progress strips provided: Backup systems such as multiple radar sites/systems are utilized.
Local procedures are documented in a facility directive. These procedures should include but not be limited to: Departure areas and/or procedures.
Arrival procedures.
Overflight handling procedures.
Transition from radar to nonradar.
Transition to or from ESL.
No misunderstanding will occur as a result of no strip usage.
Unused flight progress strips, facility developed forms and/or blank notepads must be provided for controller use.
Facilities must revert to flight progress strip usage if backup systems referred to in subparagraph d 1 are not available.
Air traffic managers at FDIO locations may authorize reduced lateral spacing between fields so as to print all FDIO data to the left of the strip perforation. When using FAA Form 7230-7.2, all items will retain the same relationship to each other as they do when the full length strip (FAA Form 7230-7.1) is used.
