Closed...ATC Screen Question, again...

ATC
#1

Hello all,

I had another set of hopefully quick question regarding the ATC screen.


– Screenshot taken from the (awesome) ATC training video so I did not blank out the name. Plus those are some nice stats to be given credit.

  1. What is the degrees in the red box? I rarely see anything other than 3 or 0.
  2. The speed is ground speed correct?
  3. Is the altitude MSL or ASL? I would think MSL from what I have observed but wanted to make sure.

Thank you in advance for your time and effort.

2)Yes the speed is ground speed

3)MSL

  1. Heading (buts it’s always wrong)
  2. Yes, I think so
  3. MSL IIRC

Its heading, grouped according to Math tables of 60
1 - 60 for 1 deg…
Something like that, @Dr_Z can explain

Yes I believe dush nailed it. 1-60 1 degree,61-120 2 degree or something of the sort.

What I haven’t understood, is why. Why would you have headings grouped by 60’s??
