ADVISORY INFORMATION
Airmen can subscribe to services that provide FAA NOTAMS and Airman Advisories. These documents are also
available at most FAA Flight Service Stations, and at many Fixed Base Operations. When using these documents,
ensure that they are current prior to using the information in them for flight planning.
NOTAMS are documents that provide information of a time-critical nature affecting a pilot’s decision to make an
intended flight. For example, closed airports, terminal radar out of service, enroute navigational aids out of
service, etc.
GENERAL INFORMATION ON SPECIFIC TOPICS
FLIGHT PLANNING
FAR, Part 91 requires that each pilot in command, before beginning a flight, familiarize himself with all available
information concerning that flight.
All pilots are urged to obtain a complete pre-flight briefing, preferably from an expert such as an FSS briefer. The
pre-flight briefing should consider such items as local, enroute, and destination weather; alternate airports;
enroute navaids; airport runways in use; length of runways; takeoff and landing performance of the airplane under
expected conditions; etc.
