DATA BLOCKS

This reproduces published FAA reference text for study. It does not replace the current official FAA publication or regulation.

EN ROUTE

Retain data blocks that are associated with the appropriate target symbol in order to maintain continuous identity of aircraft. Retain the data block until the aircraft has exited the sector or delegated airspace, and all potential conflicts have been resolved; including an aircraft that is a point out. The data block must display flight identification and altitude information, as a minimum. The displayed altitude may be assigned, interim, or reported.

ERAM: When you have separation responsibility for an aircraft and a paired track exists, display a full data block (FDB).
