FIS: PREFLIGHT 22-Aug-2013 GEN - PF - 1
NOTE: The Internet does not form part of the ATS operational system.
Access to these services is dependent on the normal availability and
reliability of the Internet.
3.1.3 The above services are available as a menu choice, and on-line help is available for those
unfamiliar with the service.
3.1.4 The NAIPS database recognises aerodrome abbreviations, waypoints or common names,
when providing SPFIB or for flight notifications.
3.1.5 Common names are stored in the NAIPS database in accordance with ERSA conventions.
Retrieval of locations from NAIPS using the common name function requires a correct
match with the name. Special cases are as follows:
a. In the case of two names separated by an oblique stroke, eg. Proserpine/Whitsunday
Coast, the location is retrieved by the first common name only.
b. For locations associated with a capital city aerodrome (eg PERTH/Jandakot,
BRISBANE/Archerfield) the location is retrieved by use of the second common name
( i.e. Jandakot, Archerfield).
c. Common names for airspace groups are retrieved by the use of the name plus the
word "airspace".
d. If the common name for a location is in doubt, a search directory is available.
3.2 SPFIB
3.2.1 An SPFIB is a briefing based on a route. The MET and NOTAM data presented is based
on set parameters of Route, Time and Height. Data outside these parameters will be
omitted from the briefing.The route can be either one stored in NAIPS and accessed via
the route directory or as described in the data entry form (either DCT or up to 30
waypoints).
3.2.2 All NOTAM in an SPFIB revert to a 1 line summary if the NOTAM is more than 7 days
old. Full text NOTAM are available if required. A briefing reference number is provided
to enable updates to be obtained from NAIPS or the briefing office. The update is available
as long as the briefing is valid (from 1 to 240 hours with a default of 24 hours).
3.2.3 SPFIB are available from NAIPS (via the Internet) and the briefing office.To assist with
obtaining briefings, routes between main city pairs are stored in NAIPS for use in SPFIB.
3.3 SPFIB Using stored routes
3.3.1 The stored routes are a High route (above FL200), Low route (below FL200) or
International route (routes leaving Australia). More than one route may exist between any
two locations. A list of stored routes is available from the route directory.
3.3.2 Low level stored routes (prefixed with L and a number) will provide the following data:
a. Head Office NOTAM.
b. FIR NOTAM relevant to the route.
c. MET and NOTAM for departure, destination and alternate.
d. GPS RAIM forecasts for departure, destination and alternate.
e. ATIS for departure and destination (and alternate if available).
f. NOTAM on PRD areas with 50NM radius of departure and destination.
g. Area forecasts, AIRMET, SIGMET and AIREP Specials.
h. Wind and temperature profile if planned level is above FL110.
i. NOTAM on all locations within 50NM either side of route, except surface NOTAM.
3.3.3 High level stored routes (prefixed with H and a number) will provide the following data:
b. MET and NOTAM for departure, destination and alternate.
c. GPS RAIM forecasts for departure, destination and alternate.
d. ATIS for departure and destination (and alternate if available).
e. NOTAM on PRD areas with 50NM radius of departure and destination.
f. FIR NOTAM relevant to the route and height band.
g. SIGMET and AIREP Specials.
h. Wind and temperature profile.
i. NOTAM on all locations within 50NM either side of route, except surface NOTAM.
3.4 SPFIB using Ad-hoc routes.
3.4.1 When a stored route is not available, an SPFIB can be obtained by entering the departure,
destination and alternate, and then describing the route as direct (DCT) or by entering
up to 30 waypoints. This will provide the following data:
b. MET and NOTAM for departure, destination and alternate.
c. GPS RAIM forecasts for departure, destination and alternate.
d. ATIS for departure and destination (and alternate if available).
e. NOTAM on PRD areas with 50NM radius of departure and destination, unless
departure or destination is a latitude/longitude.
f. AIREP Specials on waypoints in the route.
g. Wind and temperature profile if planned level is above FL110.
h. En-route NOTAM for waypoints in route, except surface NOTAM.
3.4.2 PRD, FIR NOTAM and area forecasts relating to the route are not automatically included
in the ad-hoc SPFIB and must be requested separately in the additional locations field.
The data in these fields is related to the planned flight level.
3.5 Briefing Filters.
3.5.1 The SPFIB tailors the briefing data as much as possible to that essential to the route.
Additionally data is filtered by use of time and planned flight level.
3.5.2 Time filter: NAIPS selects data by using the first EOBT and the time period specified by
the pilot (between 1 and 240 hours). Only current data or data becoming current during
the specified time period will be presented in the SPFIB.
3.5.3 Flight level filter: NAIPS selects data by using the planned level of the aircraft and only
providing both NOTAM and MET information relating to that flight level.
CAUTION: A briefing done for a high flight level will not include data relevant to a low
level. This may present a problem if the aircraft descends to a lower level without updating
the briefing.
3.6 AVFAX (Meteorological and NOTAM Facsimile Service)
3.6.1 AVFAX is a self help system which delivers meteorological and NOTAM information,
including charts, from NAIPS, to a nominated facsimile number, in response to a tone
generated telephone request. AVFAX products and custom codes can also be accessed
online via the NAIPS Internet Service. Each AVFAX briefing contains a reference number
which can be used online, quoted to the briefing office or in-flight to obtain an update on
the original briefing. Additional information and user instructions follow later in this FIS
Preflight Section of ERSA.
Telephone : 1800 805 150
3.7 METBRIEF(Automated Meteorological Telephone Briefing)

4.3 International Operations
4.3.1 A preflight briefing service is provided by the briefing office for international operations.
For departing flights an information service is provided to the first destination outside
Australia. For pilots flight planning to Australia from locations such as Norfolk Island, an
information service is available on the international telephone and facsimile numbers
listed.
4.3.2 International operators intending to establish a new route out of Australia are required to
notify the briefing office of their NOTAM requirements prior to the commencement of the
service. This allows the briefing office to amend the database accordingly.
4.3.3 Requests by non scheduled operations for information not held in the database, will be
referred to the appropriate international authorities.
Early notice of such flights will avoid delays.
5. FLIGHTWATCH (Flight Information Service On Request )
5.1 FLIGHTWATCH and ATC provide an in-flight NOTAM and meteorological briefing service
via air-ground communications channels to pilots unable to obtain information preflight,
or who require an in-flight briefing update. This service will be limited to information
considered essential to the first point of intended landing where access to a telephone
or facsimile is available. For additional information on Flightwatch services refer to FIS:
In Flight.
6. FLIGHT NOTIFICATION
6.1 The pilot in command is responsible for flight planning and notification and for the accuracy
of the flight notification. If submitting notification via NAIPS, automatic validation of some
details will be carried out by the system. These include locations, EOBT and SARTIME
details for the flight. If details are not provided, or are incorrect, the NAIPS system will
make the user aware that an amendment should be made to the flight notification, if
delays are not to be incurred.
6.2 Pilots must be mindful of how significant points or turning points are processed. If a
common name is entered in lieu of an aerodrome abbreviation or navigational aid/waypoint,
the flight notification output will assume the aircraft is tracking over a navigational
aid/waypoint e.g. the location HOLBROOK will translate to HBK, not YHBK.
6.3 The aircraft identification "NOSEND" has been allocated for training purposes. Flight
notifications filed with this callsign will not be processed by the briefing offices.
6.4 If submitting details by facsimile :
a. print firmly and clearly with a black pen using block letters, correct errors by crossing
out and writing correct data adjacent. Do not overwrite;
b. check for errors or omissions prior to transmitting;
c. do not use highlighter pens on the plan prior to transmitting;
d. it is recommended that a departure point, contact phone or facsimile number is
recorded on both sides of the plan in case of a wrong side up transmission;
e. ensure the plan is sent to the correct number, and wait for the "OK" transmission
message.
f. phone the briefing office if confirmation of receipt is required.
g. confirmation of receipt is required when a SARTIME has been submitted.
6.5 Stored Flight Files
6.5.1 Stored Flight files are specific preflight briefings (SPFIB) or flight notifications regularly
used by operators and which have been stored by users in the NAIPS Internet Service
or that the briefing office has agreed to store in the computer database after consultation
with the company concerned. Such flight files enable quick and efficient activation by
either the pilot through pilot access, or the briefing officers direct to NAIPS.
6.5.2 A flight notification stored in such a way is appended by the abbreviation - FPL to
distinguish it from the SPFIB which may have the same company identifier.
6.5.3 It is the responsibility of the originating organisation to ensure the accuracy of information
contained in stored flight files.
6.6 Auto-Filed Flight Notifications
6.6.1 These are flight plans prepared by specialist flight planning organisations which some
airlines use to prepare and submit their plans to ATS units providing services to the flight.
6.7 Submission of Flight Notification with EOBT and DOF
6.7.1 Flight plans may be submitted up to 120 hours (5 days) in advance. Flight plans must
contain a date of flight (DOF) if the flight plan is filed more than 24 hours in advance of
the EOBT.Note that flight plans entered through the NAIPS Internet Service require a
DOF for each flight regardless of timing.
6.7.2 Flight Notifications submitted with an EOBT of more than 21 hours from the time of
submission are stored and automatically distributed when the EOBT comes within 21
hours.
6.7.3 How to enter the EOBT or DOF
Enter the EOBT as a four figure time in the format HHMM. Enter DOF as YYMMDD.
6.7.4 Changes to EOBT and DOF
Changes may be made to the EOBT or DOF by;
a. Advising your new EOBT or DOF to the briefing office, or
b. Using the AMD/CNL function of the NAIPS Internet Service and entering your new
EOBT and/or DOF.
IMPORTANT:
WHERE THE EOBT CHANGES ACROSS TIME 0000, BOTH EOBT AND DOF MUST
BE CHANGED.
6.7.5 Other Changes to Flight Notification
Other changes to your flight notification may be submitted. However if a CHG is submitted
after the EOBT or DOF has passed the EOBT and/or DOF MUST be updated along with
any other changes that are made to the flight notification.
6.7.6 More Information
For further information or assistance on submitting a flight notification or Change to flight
notification, contact the National Briefing Office on 1800 805 150^.
