Review of FLIP and FAA Publications

Pilot-to-Forecaster: In the Weather Service Office at Base Operations, the forecaster has a radio. When

flying in the local area, you can keep up with changes in weather conditions, obtain extensions to your IFR

weather briefing (DD-175-1) void time, provide PIREPs, and various other services by calling the

forecaster. The call sign is “METRO.”

No NOTAM Preventative Maintenance: An

airport may remove NAVAIDs and RADAR

facilities from service for maintenance during

published maintenance periods (MP) without

issuing a NOTAM (assuming the weather is

acceptable).

For non-precision NAVAIDs and ILS systems,

this schedule will be in the NAVAID section of the

airport entry in the IFR Supplement.

For RADAR facilities, this schedule will be under

the airport name in the RADAR Instrument

Approach Minimums section of the FLIP High or

Low Altitude (Terminal) booklets.
