Strategic Control As used in this manual, control techniques employed in an environment where the level of surveillance and intervention capability requires that each oceanic clearance be planned and issued prior to the flight‟s entry into oceanic airspace, in order to provide safe separation between known traffic from oceanic entry to oceanic exit.
TA Traffic Advisory (per ACAS/TCAS)
Tactical Control As used in this manual, control techniques employed in an environment where the surveillance and intervention capabilities allow conflicts between flights to be resolved nearer the time they would occur, rather than prior to the oceanic clearance being issued.
