2.
Pilots are encouraged to request updated information from ATC facilities while in flight.
b) A review of the Notices to Airmen publication for pertinent NOTAMs and Special Notices.
c) Approximate density altitude data.
d) Information regarding such items as air traffic services and rules, customs/immigration procedures, ADIZ rules, and search and rescue.
e) LORAN.C NOTAMs, available military NO-TAMs, runway friction measurement value NO-TAMs.
f) GPS RAIM availability for 1 hour before to 1 hour after ETA, or a time specified by the pilot.
g) Other assistance as required.
3.7.3 Abbreviated Briefing. Request an Abbre-viated Briefing when you need information to supplement mass disseminated data, to update a previous briefing, or when you need only one or two specific items. Provide the briefer with appropriate background information, the time you received the previous information, and/or the specific items needed. You should indicate the source of the information already received so that the briefer can limit the briefing to the information that you have not received, and/or appreciable changes in meteorologi-cal/aeronautical conditions since your previous briefing. To the extent possible, the briefer will provide the information in the sequence shown for a Standard Briefing. If you request only one or two specific items, the briefer will advise you if adverse conditions are present or forecast. Adverse condi-tions contain both meteorological and aeronautical information. Details on these conditions will be provided at your request.
3.7.4 Outlook Briefing. You should request an Outlook Briefing whenever your proposed time of departure is 6 or more hours from the time of the briefing. The briefer will provide available forecast data applicable to the proposed flight. This type of briefing is provided for planning purposes only. You should obtain a Standard or Abbreviated Briefing prior to departure in order to obtain such items as adverse conditions, current conditions, updated forecasts, winds aloft, and NOTAMs.
3.7.5 Inflight Briefing. You are encouraged to obtain your preflight briefing by telephone or in person before departure. In those cases where you need to obtain a preflight briefing or an update to a previous briefing by radio, you should contact the nearest AFSS/FSS to obtain this information. After communications have been established, advise the specialist of the type briefing you require and provide appropriate background information. You will be provided information as specified in the above paragraphs, depending on the type of briefing requested. In addition, the specialist will recommend shifting to the Flight Watch frequency when conditions along the intended route indicate that it would be advantageous to do so. Remember that weather conditions can change rapidly and that a “go or no go” decision, as mentioned in paragraph
3.7.2.2, should be assessed at all phases of flight.
3.7.6 Following any briefing, feel free to ask for any information that you or the briefer may have missed. It helps to save your questions until the briefing has been completed. This way the briefer is able to present the information in a logical sequence and lessens the chance of important items being overlooked.
3.8 En Route Flight Advisory Service (EFAS)
3.8.1 EFAS (radio call “Flight Watch”) is a service specifically designed to provide en route aircraft with timely and meaningful weather advisories pertinent to the type of flight intended, route of flight, and altitude. In conjunction with this service, EFAS is also a central collection and distribution point for pilot.reported weather information. EFAS is provided by specially trained FSS specialists controlling multiple remote communications outlets covering a large geographical area and is normally available throughout the conterminous U.S. and Puerto Rico from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. EFAS provides communications capabilities for aircraft flying at 5,000 feet AGL to 17,500 feet MSL on a common frequency of 122.0 MHz. Discrete EFAS frequencies have been established to ensure communications coverage from 18,000 through 45,000 MSL serving in each specific ARTCC area. These discrete frequencies may be used below 18,000 feet when coverage permits reliable communication.
