.1.2.2 Flight Service Stations (FSSs)
(a). AAS: the provision of information pertinent to the arrival and departure phases of flight at uncontrolled aerodromes and for transit through an MF area. AAS is provided on the MF and is normally in conjunction with VCS.
The elements of information listed below are provided, if appropriate, by the flight service specialist during initial aerodrome advisory communications with an aircraft:
(i) active or preferred runway;
(ii) wind direction and speed;
(iii) air traffic that warrants attention;
(iv) vehicle traffic;
(v) wake turbulence cautionary;
(vi) aerodrome conditions;
(vii) weather conditions; and additional information of interest for the safety of flight.

116
Q

Transportation Safety Board of Canada (TSB)—refer to TC AIM-GEN

1.1.2.2 Flight Service Stations (FSSs). p180

A

The flight service specialist updates this information, when
appropriate, after the initial advisory. Pilots are encouraged
to indicate in initial transmissions to the FSS that information
has been obtained from the ATIS or from an AWOS (or
LWIS) broadcast, or use the phrase “HAVE NUMBERS” if
runway, wind and altimeter information from the previous
aerodrome advisory have been received, so that the flight
service specialist does not repeat the information.
Mandatory reports by aircraft on the MF are critical for the
FSS to be able to provide effective air traffic information.
At certain FSS locations, air traffic information may also
be based on a radar display. A pilot remains responsible for
avoidance of traffic in Class E airspace.
Communications regarding TCAS events and displayed
information should be limited to that required to inform the
flight service specialist that the aircraft is responding to an
RA. Discretion should be used in using the TCAS traffic
display to ask questions regarding traffic in the vicinity of
an aircraft. As would be expected, aircraft shown on a TCAS
display may not match the traffic information provided by the
flight service specialist.

117
Q

Transportation Safety Board of Canada (TSB)—refer to TC AIM-GEN

1.1.2.2 Flight Service Stations (FSSs). p180

A

NOTAM, RSC and CRFI are included in advisories for a period of 12 hr for domestic traffic, and 24 hr for international
traffic, after dissemination by means of telecommunication.
Aerodrome conditions published prior to these time limits
should have been received in the pilot briefing or can be
obtained on request.
Aerodrome lighting is operated by the FSS, unless otherwise
indicated in the CFS. The flight service specialist relays ATC
clearances, SVFR authorizations, and routinely informs the
ACC of all IFR arrival times. The specialist also relays a VFR
arrival report to a FIC upon request from an aircraft.
Pilots should be aware that a flight service specialist will alert
the appropriate agencies for any aircraft that has received a
landing advisory for an aerodrome that lies within an MF area
and within radio communication range, if it fails to arrive
within 5 min of its latest ETA, and communication cannot be
re-established with the aircraft.
(b) VCS: the provision, at locations where AAS is provided,
of instructions to control the movements of vehicles,
equipment and pedestrians on manoeuvring areas of
uncontrolled aerodromes. Flight service specialists will
normally instruct vehicle traffic to leave the intended
runway at least 5 min prior to the estimated time of landing
or before a departing aircraft enters the manoeuvring
area. The specialist will coordinate with the pilot prior
to authorizing traffic to operate on the intended runway
within less than 5 min of the estimated time of landing or
the time an aircraft is ready for takeoff.

118
Q

Transportation Safety Board of Canada (TSB)—refer to TC AIM-GEN

A

(c) VDF service: the provision of VDF navigation assistance
to VFR aircraft. This service includes provision of the
aircraft’s bearing and a reciprocal heading, but is not
intended as a substitute for normal VFR navigation.
1.1.2.3 Flight Information Centres (FICs) and Flight
Service Stations (FSSs)
(a) RAAS: the provision, via RCO, of information pertinent to
the arrival and departure phases of flight and for transit
through an MF area.
RAAS consists in the issuance of the same type of
information as in AAS, except that it is provided from a
remote location. It is emphasized that the flight service
specialist cannot observe the runways, taxiways, airspace
or weather conditions in the vicinity of the aerodrome.
Wind, altimeter and other weather information is usually
extracted from the latest METAR or SPECI, and may not
always be as representative of actual conditions as in AAS.
(b) VAS: the provision, via RCO, of information and
advisories concerning the movements of vehicles,
equipment and pedestrians on manoeuvring areas at
designated uncontrolled aerodromes. VAS is provided
at locations where RAAS is also provided. The flight
service specialist will request vehicle traffic to leave the
intended runway at least 5 min prior to the estimated time
of landing, but cannot ascertain visually if the traffic has
actually vacated the runway.

(c) Alerting service: the notification of appropriate
organizations regarding aircraft in need of SAR services
or alerts of crash equipment, ambulances, doctors and any
other safety services. Alerting of a responsible authority,
if experiencing unlawful interference, bomb threat or
inability to communicate in the clear, is also included in
this service.
(d) Emergency assistance service: the provision of aid to
a pilot when in an emergency, or potential emergency
situation, such as being lost, encountering adverse weather
conditions or experiencing aircraft-related emergencies
or equipment failure. At some locations, emergency
navigational assistance is provided to a pilot who is lost or
experiencing IMC, through the use of VDF equipment or
by transferring the pilot to ATC for radar service.
(e) NOTAM information service: the collection and
dissemination of NOTAM, RSC, and CRFI information
by the flight service specialist. A pilot may report to a
FIC or to an FSS any hazards to the air navigation system
that may need NOTAM distribution. The flight service
specialist will distribute the information if it meets the
criteria established in the Canadian NOTAM Operating
Procedures (CNOP).
