STCA: Short Term Conflict Alert

	It is displayed when a minimum separation distance between a pair of surveillance tracks is, or is predicted to be
	violated within a short look ahead time typically 2 minutes.

MTCA: Medium Term Conflict Alert

	It is displayed when a potential conflict between AC exists within a 20 minute look-ahead time period, based on 
	current trajectory information.

MSAW: Minimum Safe Altitude Warning

	Displayed when an AC is nearing the minimum safe altitude.

DAIW: Danger Area Infringement Warning

	Entry into dangerous airspace. In vatSys can include restricted areas such as R124?

RAM: Route Adherence Monitoring

It is displayed when the AC is out of the 5-5 NM (fixed value and no settings so far) range of the route calculated by EuroScope. Here are also some exceptions:
    * RAM is not displayed on the ground.
    * RAM is not displayed if the AC is cleared for approach.
    * RAM is not displayed when a direct is set or has assigned heading.

CLAM: Cleared Route Adherence Monitoring

It indicates that the pilot does not follow the cleared level. It is shown if the plane is outside the +-300 ft range of his temporary or final altitude and his vertical speed does not indicate that he is trying to reach it. There are some exceptions:
    * CLAM is not displayed on the ground.
    * CLAM is not displayed if the AC is cleared for approach.
    * CLAM is not displayed if no temporary altitude set and the plane is not tracked.
    * CLAM is not displayed if AC is flying at final altitude but cleared for lower.

SAR: Search and Rescue

MPR: Missed Position Report

ETO: Estimated Time Over significant point

APW: Area Proximity Warning

	Entry into Forbidden airspace

LBW: Level Bust Alert

	Altitude deviation from CFL. See RAM / CLAM?

NCW: Non-Conformance Warning

	Deviation from the flight plan. See RAM / CLAM?

PRL: Pilot reported level
ATD: Departure time
