EO 315.1 Describe flight information service enroute
(FISE).
Flight information can be categorized into two types:
Flight information can be provided:
- Aeronautical information, such as NOTAM or MANOT
- Weather information, such as SIGMET or PIREP
Flight information can be provided:
* In the form of a broadcast
* Upon request by the pilot
* Without request, when the specialist is in possession of pertinent
information that the pilot may be unaware of and that may affect the
flight
EO 315.2 Describe the provision of FISE.
DESCRIBE WHEN FISE IS PROVIDED
FISE is provided to pilots upon request. If a specialist is in possession of
flight safety information that the pilot may not be aware of, it is essential to
provide this information to the pilot, even without request.
Information that a pilot may not be aware of could be:
- A new NOTAM affecting the route of flight, destination or alternate
aerodrome - Adverse weather reports along the route of flight
- Satellite/radar information affecting the route of flight
- A change in forecast information at destination or alternate aerodrome
- MANOT information
Provide updates to a pilot regarding any of the following information:[1][2]
■ SIGMET, AIRMET, and urgent PIREP
■ SPECI and amended TAF at departure, destination, and alternate aerodromes
■ Weather conditions along the route of a VFR flight that are likely to make operation
under visual flight rules unfeasible or hazardous[3]
■ Pertinent NOTAM information
■ Space weather (SWX) advisories[4]
■ Release of radioactive materials or toxic chemicals into the atmosphere
■ Pre-eruption volcanic activity, volcanic eruptions, and volcanic ash clouds[5][6]
■ Any other information pertinent to flight safety, for example, lightning, bird hazards,
forest fire area, fuel dumping, unmanned free balloons, or parachute descents
EO 315.3 Describe the provision of weather
information during FISE.
Assist pilots in areas of severe weather by:[1][2][3]
MATS FIC > Emergencies and Urgent Operations > VFR Aircraft in IMC
If a VFR aircraft requests assistance when it encounters or is about to encounter IMC:[1]
■ Issuing appropriate weather information, including known areas of severe weather
■ Expediting action on requests from pilots of IFR aircraft for route or altitude changes
to avoid areas of severe weather
[2] Use all available weather data including radar imagery, satellite imagery, and
lightning information.
[3] The pilot is responsible for changes to the flight route or altitude.
MATS FIC > Emergencies and Urgent Operations > VFR Aircraft in IMC
If a VFR aircraft requests assistance when it encounters or is about to encounter IMC:[1]
Acknowledge the request and obtain information as indicated in Obtaining
information.
■ Inform and coordinate with the appropriate ACC, if applicable.
■ Switch the aircraft to the ACC frequency when communication capability exists,
unless otherwise coordinated.
■ Provide additional assistance and coordination as required - two good lists to know
When relaying weather radar information, include:
■ Name of the radar site
■ Time of the display
■ Echo location and coverage area (use distinct reference points such as well-known or
prominent landmarks)
■ Echo intensity
■ Associated weather (e.g., rain or snow), if known
EO 315.4 Describe the provision of aeronautical
information during FISE.
RVR
information provided on a METAR is based
on a 10-minute mean.
Class F airspace is defined in the
Designated Airspace Handbook and is published on
aeronautical charts. It may also be designated by NOTAM.
Airspace may be restricted by the Minister True or false?
True
Do not relay altimeter settings to a pilot that are any of the following:
■ Taken by a pilot[3]
■ Contained in a report of unofficial weather[4]
■ Obtained from a situation display - KNOW
Inform aircraft of hazardous conditions that may affect flight safety, such as:
- Wildlife activity
- Bird activity
- Bright light displays
- Any other unsafe condition
- KNOW
Report any unauthorized outdoor use of a laser or other directed bright light to the ACC
operations duty manager.
When informed that an aircraft has been illuminated by a laser or other directed bright
light: - he thinks know this list
biggest part is regarding law enforcement
■ Warn other aircraft operating in the same area.
■ If a law enforcement aircraft is in the vicinity, advise the pilot immediately.
■ Obtain the following information:
◦ Date, time, and location of occurrence
◦ Aircraft identification and type, altitude, heading, and flight conditions
◦ If known, light source location, direction, beam colour, and length of exposure
◦ Effect of illumination on crew members
◦ Actions taken by the crew
◦ Pilot opinion about whether illumination was accidental or intentional
■ Ask the pilot to contact the operations duty manager once the aircraft is on the
ground.
■ Advise the operations duty manager. If required, the operations duty manager will
ensure that controllers advise subsequent aircraft on approach.
■ Advise local law enforcement as soon as practical, to assist in their effort to
apprehend the responsible parties.
■ File an AOR. Indicate in remarks which law enforcement agency was notified, AOR filed in cesos
