  2. CALL indicates full callsign.
  3. Upper case BOLDED words should be replaced with the corresponding value described below.

  6. Words bracketed with <> represent a single keystroke.
  7. Words bracketed with {} represent a mouse movement.
  8. “P” is a single numpad key (1-9) indicating position of movement of datatag
  9. “L” is the length of the leader line (0-9)
  10. “FFF” is the floor of the hard airspace block in hundreds of feet, “CCC” is the three digit ceiling of the hard airspace block in hundreds of feet, “ b” is a required letter indicating that you are changing the airspace block.  USE CAUTION -- This command prohibits viewing any aircraft in any mode above or below this block.
  11. “ICAO” is a four digit ICAO airport identifier.  You may enter up to 6 airport identifiers separated by spaces.
  12. “FIX” is any fix (intersection)
  13. “POINT” is the identifier for any FIX, VOR, NDB, or airport
  14. “ABC” is any three digit alphanumeric string of characters
  15. “TIME” is the number of MINUTES FROM NOW to expect further clearance
  16. “DD” is any single or double-digit controller or observer ID from the controller list

  18. “SPD” is a three-digit true airspeed
  19. “CODE” is a four-digit transponder code
  20. “ALT” is a three-digit altitude in hundreds of feet
  21. “RTE” is a valid route of flight with no spaces, starting with departure airport, ending with destination, and separated by periods (eg:  laxx3.dag.clarr1)
  22. “RMK” is a remark with no spaces, separated by periods (eg:  this.is.a.remark)
