ED Decision 2020/008/R

PROVISION OF FLIGHT INFORMATION SERVICE TO AIRCRAFT OTHERWISE KNOWN TO AIR TRAFFIC SERVICES

In the context of flight information service, the expression ‘otherwise known to the relevant air traffic service unit’ transposed from the Standard in Section 4.1 of ICAO Annex 11, covers the cases when the aircraft is operating within uncontrolled airspace, where there are no requirements for the submission of a flight plan or for a continuous air-ground two-way communication with the air traffic services unit in charge of providing services in that portion of airspace. Therefore, the expression may be interpreted as traffic, the current flight details and intentions of which are known to the air traffic controllers/FIS officer/AFIS officer.
