Flight information service

Procedures

FIS

Flight information service is an air traffic service that gives pilots useful information for safe and efficient flight. It typically provides weather updates, airspace information, aerodrome information, known traffic information if available, and help in abnormal situations. It does not normally give separation between aircraft like air traffic control does. When you use it, make initial contact, report relevant changes, listen out continuously, and follow frequency change instructions.
