Visitors to Lockheed Martin Flight Services’ (LMFS) booth at the AOPA Aviation Summit have a chance to get a first look at the new Automated Flight Service Station (AFSS) Pilot Web Portal. The new system is integrated with the company’s live briefers, allowing users to choose between an online briefing, a live briefing from an AFSS briefer or a combination of the two. You can also choose to receive alerts via text or email should an adverse condition arise after you’ve received the briefing through LMFS’ Adverse Condition Alerting Service (ACAS).
Getting set up with the Pilot Web Portal is straightforward. You simply enter your email address and the system sends you login information. Like any online service, the initial setup takes a few minutes, but once you have your personal information and the aircraft data entered it will load automatically when you’re ready to get a briefing or file a flight plan.
