Flight Information Region , FIR (skrót)

Australia has two Flight Information Regions which are managed by these centres.

Flight information region.

Under the old system, controlled airspace in Australia was divided into six flight information regions, based roughly on State boundaries.

The operations room of both, Brisbane and Melbourne, contain 42 individual workstations, divided into groups responsible for different sectors within the flight information region.

An Upper Information Region is a flight information region in upper airspace.

The center's geographic borders towards neighboring countries roughly corresponds to that of Norway's exclusive economic zone (EEZ) and flight information region.

Chennai airport is the centre of the southern flight information region (FIR), one of the four FIRs that the Indian air space is divided into.

It compromises the Lisbon Flight Information Region (FIR) and Santa Maria FIR.

Brisbane Centre manages traffic handovers from neighboring flight information regions including East Timor, Papua New Guinea, Fiji and USA.

The two Turkish aircraft were reported to have incurred into the Nicosia Flight Information Region and then passed directly over the Greek Cypriot air base at an altitude of 3500 feet.

In aviation, a flight information region (FIR) is a specified region of airspace in which a flight information service and an alerting service (ALRS) are provided.

The Montreal FIR is bordered by 5 Flight Information Regions and 1 Air Route Traffic Control Center (ARTCC).

The airspace consists of two Flight Information Regions (FIR), the Brisbane FIR and the Melbourne FIR.

ZQZ refers to a Centre in Charge of Flight Information Region or Upper Flight Information Region'.

A 'flight information service' (FIS) is a form of air traffic service which is available to any aircraft within a flight information region (FIR), as agreed internationally by ICAO.

The western third of the island is not part of Japan's air defense identification zone or flight information region; instead, it sits in Taiwan's air defense identification zone and flight information region.

In addition to the onsite control tower, the airport is home to Melbourne Centre, an air traffic control facility that is responsible for the separation of aircraft in Australia's busiest flight information region, Melbourne FIR.

It utilises a distributed computing architecture and is capable of integrating geographically dispersed air traffic control units within a Flight Information Region (e.g. control towers at different airports and en route control centres) into a single coherent system.

It manages 16.1 million square kilometres of airspace (1.5 times the size of Europe) covering six Flight Information Regions (FIRs) - Antananarivo, Brazzaville, Dakar Oceanic and Terrestrial, Niamey and N'Djamena.

The added capabilities include winds aloft modeling for improved aircraft position extrapolation accuracy, and support of Air Traffic Services Inter-facility Data Communications Systems (AIDC) ground-to-ground data link with compatible Flight Information Regions (FIRs).

The main functions prescribed were the provision of air traffic management in Fiji and its flight information region; the management of airport commercial assets (the aerodromes, terminal buildings, commercial properties and infrastructure necessary for commercial activities); and the administration and management of airports as commercial businesses.

– Although the need for airspace to be delineated, regulated and strategically managed at European level is not in question, we must, at the very least, be cautious in this context about adopting functional airspace blocks (to replace the current flight information regions, where this is justified) that do not correspond to national borders.

Airservices Australia is an Australian Government owned corporation, responsible for providing safe, secure, efficient and environmentally responsible services to the aviation industry (e.g. air traffic control, airways navigation and communication facilities, aeronautical data and airport rescue and fire-fighting services) within the Australian Flight Information Region (FIR).
