Flight Service Terminal (FSS)[1] is an aeronautical information and service centre which provides information and service to pilot personnel before, during and after flight but which, unlike ATC, is not accountable for issuing orders or releases or for segregation. Persons who interact with FSS flight crews are known as flight service experts.

It is possible in most cases to contact air traffic control points either by wireless in-flight or by phone on the floor. More recently, some jurisdictions, such as Canada and the United States, have grouped air operations into large geographic centers, substituting former locally based air carriers with RCOs [3] (Remote Communication Outlets) linked to the centers.

In 2005, Lockheed Martin (LMFS) was the FAA prime minister for its flight service operations in the United States, Hawaii and the Caribbean. The FAA is still monitoring the flight service in Alaska. The tasks and areas of responsibility of the flight service are subdivided into pre-flight, in-flight and flight information. 6 ] They also supervise the meteorological information from HIWAS and TIBS, which the pilot can call by telephone or wireless.

Our service is made available to the general aviation community free of cost. On board - called "radio" by the pilot - VFR flight schedules are activated, deleted and modified. Forward IFR and SVFR authorisations to aeroplanes on the ground either by telephone or via their frequency if there is no means of communicating directly with the aeronautical information centre responsible for the area.

Radio at the frontier station also receives information from planes flying to the USA and outputs VFR plane squawk code to be identified on Homeland Security radars. They' re forwarding information about wildfires to the U.S. Forestry Service. On board, VHF and UHF frequency, VOR voice and distress frequency are monitored - from 60 to 100 different frequency per range.

United States FSS spectrum is featured in several FAA papers, among them AFD (Airport Facilities Directories), VFR sectional, IFR low and high-level chart. If a pilot has an incident on board, such as getting trapped, having fumes in the flight deck or low levels of petrol and needs instructions on how to get to the next airfield with petrol, call the flight service for help.

Flight data in flight service is an information clearing point that is rarely spoken to by the pilot unless he requests approval from the International Flight Federation (IFR) by phone. At Flight Data, we are in charge of coordinating with other flight operations, U.S. Customs and Homeland Defense, firefighters, bases, airports and criminal prosecution.

The Flight Information Centres (FIC) in Canada are monitoring the FISE spectrum (frequency 126.7MHz is for transmission) and 121. For FISE (en route flight information ), use 7MHz and use discrete bands instead. Those frequences are included in the Canada Flight Supplement (CFS). In contrast to the United States, VFR flight operators are also obliged to submit a flight schedule or a flight path with a designated individual for each flight above 25 nm from the airport of origin.

12 ] In Canada, flight schedules are also opened at the expected flight start date (ETD) as well. Timetable information centers have an important function in the management of flight schedules, the collection of pilot location information during the flight and the initiation of communication processes to localize those who do not yet have flight schedules. There are many compulsory frequent flights in Canada that have enough air travel to warrant specific regulations, but not enough to warrant a turret.

While many of these have a local aerodrome advisory service (FSS) that pilot must call, others have remote aerodrome advisory service (RAAS) provided by an aerodrome advisory service (FSS) at another site. Up until 1996, the German Confederation of Canada ran all flight safety operations (FSS and ATC) through Transport Canada, a ministry of state.

Currently, a privately owned non-profit organisation, Nav Canada, runs both FSS/FIC and ANSP and has significantly modernised the system, resulting in the closure of some locally based units. In turn, the airline established six large Flight Information Centres (FICs) at the Halifax, Quebec City, London, Winnipeg, Edmonton and Kamloops airport.

They offer standardised flight operations on the way (weather forecast, flight scheduling and research). FBSSs offer airfield consulting, vehicular guidance, meteorological observation, evacuation supply, disaster recovery and some offer remote aerodrome advisory service. The FSS is in charge of the secure and effective movements of aircrafts in manoeuvring areas and within the intended controlled area.

You are no longer in charge of flight scheduling except for transmitting departures and arrivals information to the appropriate FIC. Die FPICs have taken charge of flight schedules, archiving, in-flight alerts, flight schedule closure, interpretative forecasting and NOTAM (NOtices To AirMen) reporting. They also have large areas of supervision and RCO network, some of which are shared with FSS or ANSP.

The Quebec City, North-Bay and Kamloops FIC also support and supervise the "Community Aerodrome Radio Station" (CARS) programme.
