Introduction
FIS information is to be used as a strategic planning tool for pilot
decisions on avoiding inclement weather areas that are beyond
visual range or where poor visibility precludes visual acquisition of
inclement weather. FIS information may be used as follows:
a. To aid the pilot in situational awareness of hazardous meteo-
rological conditions.
b. As a cue to the pilot to communicate with the ATC con-
troller, AFSS specialist, Operator Dispatch, or Airline Operations
Control Center (AOCC) to get further information about the current
meteorological conditions. In no case should the pilot take any eva-
sive action based solely upon the FIS display.
The FIS information is intended for assistance in strategic flight
planning purposes only and lacks sufficient resolution and
updating necessary for tactical maneuvering.
