The National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) last week highlighted a number of changes coming soon to the FSS system managed for the FAA by Lockheed Martin Flight Services. Later this month, the FAA will complete its Clearance Relay initiative to streamline clearance delivery procedures at non-controlled airports.
NBAA Details Upcoming Changes to FSS
Key Takeaways:
- The FAA's Clearance Relay initiative will streamline clearance delivery at non-controlled airports by publishing direct phone numbers to air traffic control facilities in the chart supplement, replacing the current Leidos Flight Service clearances number.
- The Hazardous Inflight Weather Advisory Service (HIWAS) in the contiguous U.S. will be discontinued later this year, as it has been supplanted by more advanced in-flight weather technologies and is no longer widely utilized by pilots.
