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 is streamlining clearance delivery at non-controlled airports by publishing direct telephone numbers to appropriate ATC facilities in the chart supplement, replacing the current Leidos Flight Service clearance numbers.
- The Hazardous Inflight Weather Advisory Service (HIWAS) will be discontinued in the contiguous U.S. later this year, as it has been largely supplanted by more advanced inflight weather technologies.
