Wind arrows indicate the maximum wind in jet and the flight level at which it occurs. If the maximum wind
speed is 240 km/h (120 kt) or more, the flight levels between which winds are greater than 160 km/h (80
kt) is placed below the maximum wind level. In the example, winds are greater than 160 km/h (80 kt)
between FL 220 and FL 400.
The heavy line delineating the jet axis begins/ends at the points where a wind speed of 160 km/h (80 kt)
is forecast.

Meaning of both reports:
Routine report for Donlon/International 1 issued on the 22nd of the month at 1630 UTC; surface wind direction
240 degrees; wind speed 15 kilometres per hour; visibility (along the runway(s) in the local routine report;
prevailing visibility in METAR) 600 metres; runway visual range representative of the touchdown zone for
runway 12 is 1000 metres and the runway visual range values have shown an upward tendency during
previous 10 minutes (RVR tendency to be included in METAR only); and moderate drizzle and fog; scattered
cloud at 300 metres; overcast at 600 metres; air temperature 17 degrees Celsius; dew-point temperature

SERVICES AND TELEPHONE NUMBERS

1-866-WXBRIEF will contact FSS from many locations in Canada. Locations where this service is not
available, as well as additional services and phone numbers, are listed within the following pages.
For a toll free call to Fairbanks FSS dial 1-866-248-6516.
FLIGHT SERVICE STATIONS AND NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE

Telephone numbers for ATIS, AWOS, and TWEB are included.
LEGEND
AFSS Automated Flight Service Station
ASOS Automated Surface Observing System.
Reports the same as an AWOS-3 plus precipitation identification and intensity, and
freezing rain occurrence (future enhancement).
ATIS Automated Terminal Information System.
AWOS Automated Weather Observing System.
Consists of various sensors, a processor, a voice synthesizer, and transmitter to relay

local real-time weather data directly to the pilot. These systems are classified into four
basic levels:
AWOS-A Reports altimeter setting.
AWOS-1 Reports altimeter setting, wind data, and usually temperature, dew point, and
density altitude.
AWOS-2 Reports the same as AWOS-1 plus visibility.
AWOS-3 Reports the same as AWOS-1 plus visibility and cloud/ceiling data.
FFFP Fast File Flight Plan System.
For pilots who already have obtained a weather briefing and desire only to file a flight plan.
Pilots may call the discrete telephone numbers listed and file flight plans in accordance
with recorded taped instructions. IFR flight plans will be extracted and entered in the
appropriate ARTCC computer. VFR flight plans will be retained at the FSS for activation
by the pilot. This equipment is designed to automatically disconnect after 8 seconds of no
transmission, so pilots are instructed to speak at a normal speech rate without lengthy
pauses between flight plan elements. Pilots are urged to file flight plans into this system
at least 30 minutes in advance of proposed departure.
FIC FLIGHT INFORMATION CENTER
Flight Information Centers provide the following FSS services: FISE, RAAS, flight
planning, weather observing, AWBS, VFR alerting, aeronautical broadcast, navigation
assistance, navigation aid monitoring, NOTAM, PIREP, fixed telecommunications and
paid communications. All FICs provide AWBS and have W1(F) briefing capability. Quebec
FIC provides bilingual service. Other FICs provide English-only service.
1-866-WXBRIEF (1-866-992-7433). Calls to this number are routed to the FIC that serves
the area you are calling from.
1-866-GOMETEO (1-866-466-3836). Calls to this number are routed to Quebec FIC. This
number is intended for the provision of bilingual service.
Some cellular and satellite telephone user’s telephone calls may be mis-routed when
using 1-866-WXBRIEF. Cell phone users who are outside their cell phone area code and
want to call a FSS, call toll-free 800-555-1212 for a directory listing or the following
numbers, available from within Canada and the United States, may be used:
– 1-866-541-4102 to contact Edmonton FIC;
– 1-866-541-4106 to contact Halifax FIC;
– 1-866-541-4101 to contact Kamloops FIC;
– 1-866-541-4104 to contact London FIC;
– 1-866-541-4105 to contact Quebec FIC;
– 1-866-541-4103 to contact Winnipeg FIC.
