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 completing its Clearance Relay initiative to streamline clearance delivery at non-controlled airports by publishing direct ATC telephone numbers in the updated chart supplement, replacing current Flight Service clearance numbers.
- The FAA will discontinue the Hazardous Inflight Weather Advisory Service (HIWAS) in the contiguous U.S. later this year, citing its obsolescence due to more advanced inflight weather technologies and low pilot utilization.
